How To Make Your Own Cornhole Bags
As for the corn-filled beanbag pouches used in Cornhole, you can sew your own bags for any bean bag toss game, including Cornhole. Here are instructions for making the bean bags from Michael Brungs (.pdf):You need 16 7"x7" cloth squares for cornbags (enough for 8 cornbags). Depending on how many bags you want each player to throw (either two or four), select the fabric colors accordingly. To assemble the bags, take two of the 7" x 7" fabric squares and sew a quarter inch seam on three sides. Fill each bag with 2.25 cups of corn. Sew the last open side of the bag. Double stitch each bag on all four sides. The bags do take a beating."
