We have been talking recently about how fun it would be to have a Corn Hole game and thought it would be even more fun if we made it ourselves. We finally got around to it last week and actually ended up making two; one for our family and one for a friend.
We decided to paint them in Oregon State colors and hope to eventually add the BEAVER logo at the bottom.
I did not realize that Regulation corn hole bean bags are made out of Duck Cloth and filled with Corn Feed until after I had already finished making mine out of cotton and filling with pinto beans. I will probably end up making a Regulation set but for now these work fine.
For a Regulation game there are 2 sets of 6" bean bags, 4 in each set. To make filling the bags easier I made a funnel out of a catalog insert.
According to the rules of the game each bean bag must weigh 1 pound. Since I do not have a kitchen scale we came up with this simple little way to weigh the bean bags. It worked pretty well.
We finished the Corn Hole game just in time for Dad's Weekend {except for the decals which we will add later}.
Dad's Weekend was last weekend and I heard from several sources that
the Corn Hole game
was a hit!
Hubby's woodworking and your sewing is a terrific combination!!! Outstanding finish, even if the bags are not duck cloth!!
