I am making bean bag chairs for the kids for Christmas and I'm cringing to think of buying packing peanut stuffing..I don't want to create some negative eco-karma.. Does anyone have any alternative ideas? I'm a little stuck. thanks! Julia

Julia-
Here are a few options-
-shredded fabric scraps (towels work well) this would create a firmer sitting surface- I have done this with huge floor pillows.
- In Natural Home last year they recommended using wadded up plastic bags for bathroom pillows (recycled and squishy- you could get some from the supermarketrecycle container if you ask)
- There are organic hemp bean bags for sale on the internet, find out what they are stuffed with
- Finally recycled packing peanuts from friends and neighbors christmas packages(the kind that is biodegradable dissolves when wet so watch out!)
Good Luck-Rebekka |
