Sand Bags

Here is another original idea for decoration, which may be also useful. We will show you how to make it, and you will decide how to use it. Let this be a mutual project.

The easiest way to make a bag:

Take some fabrics. Cut a piece in the shape of a circle. Another piece cut in the shape of a rectangle. 

You must use the circumference of the circle, as the length of the rectangle. Connect the two short ends of the rectangle with seam. Now sew the bottom (the circle) too.

 You have the bag finished.

 Now put inside a plastic bag and fill it with sand. Tie the top with satin ribbon or lace or just with shoelace :). Now you have not just a bag, you have the sand bag :) :)

You can use it to prop open a window or door, to hold the books on the shelf, or just as decoration :). The more of colors and materials you use, the more interesting your bags will be.

 If you have other ideas for the use of sand bags, please let us know in the comments. Or just contact us if you like it. We will be happy to exchange ideas with you :)
