We had figured out most of the details for our Fourth of July party this year, from our felt pennant decorations to our red white and blue cupcakes, but we still needed to focus on entertainment. We wanted a new game for the kids at the party to play, and since their parents are all fans of the popular game cornhole, we wanted to make something similar with bean bags for the kids. So, we brainstormed and came up with easiest way to make bean bags ever& using the pockets of old jeans! Then we made some scored targets to toss them at, and now we have a simple and fun bean bag toss game that we can't wait to show all our young friends (and maybe the older ones too!)

Step 1Cut the pockets

Cut the pockets
Grab your old jeans and trim around the back pockets with a pair of scissors, right along the pockets edges. For the top of the pocket, just cut straight across the top. Youll end up with pouch thats already sewn shut for you on three sides.
