Make Your Own Cornhole Bags

Cornhole, which is increasing in popularity not merely in america, but worldwide is rapidly becoming an absolute must have game. Its preferred for the simple fact that everyone can play and any person can have fun while playing. Generally a lot of people purchase their cornhole sets, either through an online internet web store, or through a nearby listing like Craigslist. Sets contain bags and boards. Usually following many rounds of playing cornhole bags will start to deteriorate to the point that they should be replaced.

While there are many outlets for you to purchase new cornhole bags online, you can also just as easily make them with a sewing machine, some duck canvas cloth, some whole kernel corn feed and some high tinsel stitching.

A local fabric store is likely to have the products you’ll need to make a cornhole bag. The fabric is very rigid and will not break down during the riggers of the game. If you find that the fabric is to strong you can simply wash it in hot water to make it more pliable. This will also help reduce any shrinkage that might occur.

Cornole bags are 6 inch by 6 inches in regulation play. Because you might not be taking part in any approved tournaments in your own backyard you could likely get as close to as possible without issue. Try to cut fabric squares of six and 1/2 inches by six and 1/2 inches. Sew 1/4 inch seams on 3 sides and simply turn the bags inside out. Fill the bags with somewhere between 14-16 ounces of whole kernel corn feed. Stitch one last seam by using double stitching and you are finished producing your first cornhole bag. Duplicate the process seven additional times to finish your set.

Some colors might be unavailable to you. If this happens, you can always buy some fabric dye and make any color you want. Make sure that you wash the fabric if you do dye it. This will wash away any impurities that might still exist. It’s likely that you won’t be able to dye the exact color but it is worth a shot.
