Then you can measure about 12 oz. to 14 oz. of beans that will be placed inside the sewed fabrics. After this, you can finish sewing the small opening and you are good to go. You already have your own corn hole bags.

Basically, these are the steps that you have to follow for you to make your own corn hole bags. It is not that difficult to make your own bags, is it?
