A quick search of the internet will find you hundreds of websites describing how to make a bean bag for Corn Hole or Bag toss or whatever it is you call it. Most of the instructions are basically the same. They use the same material, the same weight, the same filler, etc. The difference is the outside of the bags and what they look like.
If you have a set of corn hole boards that are Ohio State colors or graphics, you will probably want Scarlet and Gray for the bags, as Yellow and Blue would be a horrible clash of colors. Likewise, the corn hole boards I built and painted are of a scene from the Original NES Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. I wanted to keep with the same theme when it came to the bags, so I designed them accordingly.
They look much better than the Red and Black bags I previously purchased, and although a challenge, were fun to create.
I have to give a shout out to my Mom here as she did the sewing. She could pretty much make anything I think, if I could put the idea on paper well enough. I built and painted the boards(my medium to work in) and designed the bags, but she made it happen, so Thanks Mom. :) Well worth the 2 hour drive to go pick them up, and the days of emails/texts to get them sorted out.

Signing UpStep 1: The Boards the bags were modeled for
If you don't have a pro membership, the first step always ends up on the starting page and that makes it a long intro page. So I keep them short and sweet.
Here is a picture of the Boards that the bags were designed for. I will probably do an instructable on those later as they are not your typical boards. At the time of taking the picture, the tops have not been clear coated yet, and the legs are waiting to be attached. So the boards are slightly shinier now.
