I've just made myself a beanbag. Mostly to have a starter project to get used to my new sewing machine. However the price of the beads seems to be scandalous. Any ideas where I could get some cheap? cheapest I've found is 20 quid. When I consider what I've already spent on the project not including the time I'm way out of pocket already compared to buying a beanbag.

Ask on freecycle for an old beanbag. Vaccuum all the old beans out of it into a clean bag and then put them into yours?

Wilkinsons do replacement beans for bean bags - a huge bag costs about £5

Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

Search in Amazon for Bean Bag Filling, it's the cheapest I've found!
