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).

It's really funny that you're making this post because I've had the same question/plan for the past month re: beanbag chairs.

The current plan is to sew up this old fitted flannel sheet I've got with bleach stains all over and get a bunch of packing peanuts from my work to stuff it. I'll let you know how it goes!
