I can't seem to find anything on Google about making a bean bag chair, and I'm at a loss for trying to figger it out myself. Any help?

You can use Duct Tape, a couple trash bags and some of those plastic peanut packing things.

Yeah, I was thinking that as well. But how sticky can duct-tape furniture get?

If you have access to a sewing machine, you could use pillow covers.
Fill them with beans, then sew them shut.
Use like 2 for the base, 2 for the back and one either side for the arm rests. Then sew the chair together.
Is this something like you wanted to do?

I can think of no smell sweeter than that of a freshly lit bowl.

Around here you can get foam bean bag beans from cheap stores like the $2 shop.
So you could make a pretty good chair for around $5.
I got 2 store bought one's styled like Recaro racing seats. Damn good for laying back playing Playstation.

I have one bean bag, and it's an 8-ball. Pretty cool really but it isn't big enough to REALLY just lay the fuck back on. It's only regular size and I always want to lean againts something when I'm setting in it.
Also, I wish there was a product called bean bag bed. A large bean bag the size/shape of a bed OR some other large bed shape that was bean bag texture/ filled. That would rock.

Trash bags would be too fragile to use for a beanbag chair. It would rip when you try to adjust to you.

Ah I see now well I would rather buy a bean bag chair from like say Wal-Mart, If you don’t mind having duct tape on it any way I guess we could use the ol' boxing technique with it and get some free stuff. That doesn’t seem like it would work though.
