bean bag chairs

[nibot]

I really want to get some bean bag chairs for our basement, and maybe some for our office at school. I wonder if I could make bean bag chairs by making or buying the covers, and filling them with styrofoam "peanuts" (shipping material), which seems like it would be easy to find. ideas?

I am also on a mission to acquire scraps of carpet left over from new carpet installations, with which to carpet the bomb shelter (hey, if we have to stay in there for the next 10,000 years, we might as well make it cozy).

Carpet scraps can be acquired by going to a carpet store and asking if they have carpet remnants. Sometimes you can even get them for free.
Today Wayne and I went to a store (Construction Junction (http://www.constructionjunction.org/#))which sells used construction and hardware parts, which also sold carpet. So you can look for a place like that.
