Stuffed Animals, they're EVERYWHERE! They're in pretty much every room of our house (except the bathrooms, but don't think that my daughters haven't tried to change that!). The problem is most of them have a story or some other sort of emotional attachment. For example this guy:
His name is Bear Bear. For a while, he went everywhere with my oldest. She gave him the name Bear Bear on a trip to the doctors office when she was about 2.
Then, there are the ones that my husband has won for them from those claw machines you see in some restaurants, the ones they got on vacation, a gift from Grandma, etc. We've got a lot!
I don't want to get rid of them, but I would like to store them in a better way. They've outgrown the boxes/bins that we're using currently. And it looks a bit cluttered.
Then, I saw
this pattern for a bean bag chair and remembered somewhere seeing a "bean" bag chair that was "stuffed" with stuffed animals. It seemed like a great solution and I have a lot of fabric already (plus it only takes 3 yards if you don't line it, which I didn't). So when the
first Iron Craft Challenge for 2013 was Cotton, I decided to give it a try!
I also used a zipper instead of velcro to keep it closed.
