DIY MINI BEAN BAG STAND FOR YOUR IPOD/iphone

4/17/2018

Lilly's school has an upcycle fair every year. Last year she made a plastic bag jump rope and won 3rd place in her grade. This year she made what she called "ipod Bears" which are basically mini bean bag chairs that look like chairs to hold your ipod or iphone. She won 1st place in her grade!

I'm going to show you how we made them so you can make your own. They are super adorable and easy to do using materials you probably have right now! We did get the idea from youtube and used this video to help us make them.

You will need:
- rice- hot glue and glue gun
- yarn
- stapler
- sock
- scissors
- ruler

Step One:
Pull your sock inside out and lay your sock flat and pull the heel up and flatten it out.

Step Two:
Measure 5 inches from the flattened heel to the toe and cut the toe off.

Step Five:
Seal the end of the sock on the toe end with hot glue and then staple to ensure rice does not escape.

Step Seven:
Fold the lip of the sock in a bit and hot glue together. Be sure to be neat because you will be able to see this seam. Go back over and staple under the glue line like before to ensure the rice doesn't fall out.

Step Three:
Repeat the measure and cut on the other end of the sock.

Step Six:
Flip your sock right side out and fill with rice leaving about 1/2 inch or so at the top empty.

Step Eight:
Adjust to where the heel becomes the seat for your device. Then, make two pom pom balls and hot glue them to each corner of the bean bag sock.

Lilly was pretty tired of wrapping the yarn around her fingers. She had to go to 65 for each pom pom.
It was a pretty easy and fairly quick project. We ended up making three in total and only spent about 1 and a half hours. It's definitely something interesting to do with all of those socks with missing partners!
Maybe now she won't lose her ipod under her bed. Lol.
