• Making My Own Foam Sac...
This took me:
* 14 hours to cut all of the foam pieces
* 5 hours sewing by machine
* 1 hour sewing by hand
* 1 hour filling the sac etc.
Total: 21 hours straight. I did this in 2 weeks.
The material cost me: 1600:- SEK/around 176$ USD/ 150£ Euros
I used:
✴240x220cm plain sheet
✴170x130cm two side blanket
✴5 of the foam packages á (80x200x3 cm)
✴4x Moisture bags
✴Velcro straps 20mm wide, white.
✴sewing machine

if you decide to make this yourself, feel free to send me pictures of it!
Good luck and have fun! :)
I have added a STEP BY STEP instruction in the Description. Check it out and Good luck!! ❤
Maybe use a meat grinder for the pieces? It will ruin the grinder but it wouldnt be an issue if you only use it for styrofoam
Josefin Larsson why did you use foam is it like the filling in the lovesac bean bag????
Sketchy Doggie yes, and probably for comfort too
Hi! Do you have a step by step instruction guide for the big white one? Thank you!
N
Once I saw you cutting up those tiny cubes, I had to pause & hit the like "button." This is tedious & fantastic! Great job! Now I know what to do w my random bed foams left over from college. Ma'am, consider this idea borrowed (stolen). Lol.
ooooh same for me
Would a rotary cutter work on the foam?
Holy cow your genius ! I spent over a thousand dollars on mine ! I’m buying one from you next time 🤘🏻
But if you calculate the time to make this (21 hours) at roughly $30/hr, you're in the same realm as buying one.
This is what I was searching for...Thanks! but would have been much better if it was shown in normal speed,(at least the cutting & sewing parts) but still appreciate your effort :) Thanks again for making this video
Wow your very talented and lots of people would pay you well for these.
Thank you!
How can I order one?
@@DjosieN Do you make these to sell?
@@ericaanderson6889 If you are from sweden they are soon avalible at: Fikasac.se or fikasac.com :)
Omg, fantastic, when I saw you cutting the foam I was like oh hell no. Lol. Luv it!
OMG! I love your cat! It is so cute!
Well, I think I found my next quarantine project :-) Thanks, girl! You did an amazing job!
Great job on these. You're definitely talented, I have two SuperSac LoveSacs and honestly like the asthetics of yours better.
Weslee Rivers im glad to hear that. Thank you so much! 😊
Josefin Larsson Very welcome ma'am!
I WANT ONE
so you sunk thousands into overpriced beanbags you don't really like?? if you make over 250k I believe you
Talk about commitment
I straightaway gave you thumbs up, when I saw you cutting those foam pieces. 👍Very beautiful bean bag you have made.
Please make another one. I love watching the videos. There's hardly any videos on lovesac diy! Thanks for sharing!
Great job ..but I just kept looking for Ur cat ..she/ he is so cute
I love the fact that you have used two different fabrics for the cover. That is something new. Thank you for sharing.
I just made one of these foam sacs and it turned out great! I actually just uploaded a video about it, if you want to check it out. Thanks so much for these awesome instructions!
Hi! Do you know if your foam was standard or high density? I want to make one of these but don't really know wich filler I should buy. How is your bean bag structure now after years of use?
Excellent job! I may have used a blender or law mower to cut up all that foam lol but great job!!
Very nice
Can you put a link for the double sided blanket please?
Yes wow, I have been wanting to make one u have given me courage to try. I am new at sew.i really enjoy your tutorial.I love challenges. I am going to try it. Any advice? Lol thank you
Try to find shredded foam so you dont have to sit like me, cutting it all by hand :)) Good luck!!
I give you props girl. You did it all by HAND. I would have quite halfway and that project would've been sitting arouns for years. You GO GIRL!!
Nice video but I would have preferred the cat howling instead of the music.
This looks so comfortable!!!! I want one!!! 😪😪😪
14 hours just to cut all the pieces? That is really the hard way. The bag looks super comfy though
I like your own sack it looks really comfortable
That's an admirable long stretch of hard work. Sometimes it's not just a bottom line that matters. Days are only so long, and some people aren't that strong.
I want to do this!!!! But I am horrible at sowing!!! I need someone to help me out with making the inside and outside bags for it😩 awesome job though!!!!
what are moisture bags? do you mean anti moisture absorption bags moisture absorbing indicating like silica gel packets? can you recommend one and also if any foam will be soft and good? can the same fabric be used as liner (same as the cover itself)
and you had 2 big helpers
wow huge love for your talent
Woow!!! It looks just like store bought!!!
Wow, really very nice 👍, I have these foam sheets, I don't know what to do with them, I definitely use them now. Thanks dear
Your amazing...and amazingly patient
Do u sell them on esty or anything? I’m not any type of seemstress
This is very cool and your skills look like they have developed even more over the the past year!
My dog and cat, request that I make this. ASAP ! Great job.
You're a dynamo ! Great video, ya could have cheated throwing in half packing peanuts. Gosh your hands must hurt !
Plz....can u make dhs video slow...while cutting n sewing....plz...I need it's measurements
Hi! Read the description, your should find the measurments you need. :) I used the same for both layers. Send me a massage if you have any further questions.
This is awesome but what are the measurements of the larger one and how many foam mattress did you need for the larger one as well. Thanks!
Courtney B i used 12 of the foam mattresdes to the big one :) i will give you the other measurements tomorrow :)
130x100x75cm when the sac was done :)
Liked, subscribed, and now commenting.
U did a great job!!
I pray that ur channel turns out to be huge hit✌️.
How about u making the next video on, how to use old bedsheets as covers for pillows, napkins, and stuff, because u have a sewing machine at home😊
thankyou for video !
what fabric did you use for the top part of the bean bags?
No pude ver medidas ni nada de lo que hiciste a la tela para que quedara ASI
Yoo the cutting of the foam something else
Thanks for sharing! starting to cut up my foam now!
Did you finish?
Was all that work worth it?
Dat cat doe😍😍😍
hi, can you please make me one
Where did you buy the blankets? i want those to make my bean bag
i bought it in a local store here in Sweden. I guess you can find some similar ones where you live :)
Wuuuuoooo ke habilidad Dios te sabiduría y gracias x compartir..... Voy hacer unos.... Saludos de cdmx 👌
Hello! regarding the bigger version in the back you wouldn't happen to know the measurements? I want to make a big one like that but I am not sure how to go about it regarding size, any advice.
Yes, i used a twoside-blanket that was 220cmX150cm. So the two circles were ~84 cm in diameter and the cylinder was 95cm in diameters. So the cylinders measurements is 3meters around and 136 cm long. So you are gonna sew the edges of the cylinder (3m) together. If its hard to understand, just look at the picture i posted down in the description but change the measurements. Good luck 😊
Alright thank you so much !
Was that a Siberian cat
Livsfarlig! somnar varje gång jag testar den XD
Do you have the measurements for the larger bag? I love this and SO HAVE TO MAKE ONE!!!
Thank you for sharing 🥰🙏🏻
So, crazy question,what material do you think would be good for this if you have cats that like to sharpen claws on furniture? seriously though?
You used foam mattress or mattress topers? What kind did you use? Where did you get them?
it was ''hobby foam'' We have it in sweden where i live. So i cant tell what options you have, but i just got it in a regular furniture shop.
Enjoyed!!!! I'm gonna try one day too
I will NEVER cut all that foam by hand BUT.... great job !!!
I can’t do this... why you might ask( you probably weren’t though) cause I am too lazy😴😴😴
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰
Too much work
Hey ! Thanks for the video. Do you have an idea of how many litters does it represent ? Actually, polysteren is a bit expensive 😅. Hard to answer I guess haha sorry
I'm sold
Your 👍
😳😳😳
Wow
What is the name of the background music in this video?
Meizong - Melood :)
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WATCHED IN DOUBLE SPEED? 🤩 Awesome!!!!!
How much did all of this stuff cost to make the big one ?
Around 240$ :)
Awesome nice work
The white one in the back ground, is that a love sac or a diy?
Its a diy :) A bigger version of the one i made in this video.
If you have lots of time but not lots of money, this is the way to go. My roommate and I had a massive Love Sac in college back in 2004 before they cost an arm and a leg. I've wanted another one every since.
Excelente , quedó muy bien
Gracias por mostrar como se hacen
Your hard work is really impressive..!
Fantastic Job!! How many foam mattresses did you use?
Grymt! Båda två ser riktigt fina ut :)
Vad får den för "konsistens"? Är den ganska fast, eller kan man ändra formen lätt när man sitter iden? Funderar nämligen på att göra en men vet inte om jag ska använda mig av skumgummi eller något annat...
Tack, roligt att höra 😀 Desto mindre den är desto lättare är den att forma just när du ligger i den. Sen brors det på hur stora bitarna är. Den blir inte hård alls när man ligger i den. Jag har sovit i den en hel natt och det har fortfarande känts som jag ligger på ett moln när jag vaknat 😊 sen kan man ju ha olika sorters skumgummi. Som ex. Durafoam som är lite tempur liknande är nog bäst. Eller iaf att ha hälften hälften då den ger bra komfort 😊 Jag testade ha i lite polyester bomull, men det klumpade sig bara och säcken blev svår att ”fluffa upp” så det rekommenderar jag inte att ha i 😊 Lycka till! 😁
okej, tack så mycket för hjälpen! :)
Do you have the big one instructions? I wanna try to make the huge one
What is the type of the fabric you used for the inner and outer cover?
I loved
Where did you get the foam and is it open cell foam? Thanks
Good job girl
This is some amazing swedish ingenuity!! I love it!
Hi, I live in Norway. Where you bought that foam? Is there any special name for that foam? I am planning to make this sack 😊🥰
At Jysk 😊 i think you have it in Norway aswell! Hobbyfoam
Awesome!
seria bueno, mas videos de costura, quedo muy bonito.
nice video but music bother , I had to put it mute
Amazing
How much?
Where did you buy the inside foam
Yes I have to try this ❤️❤️
Please tell me you'll make me one and ship it?
Jamie Berger everybody tells me that 😉
Oh hell no!! You had me up until you started cutting one inch cubes girlie. God love you cuz I'd lose interest in that after 5 minutes.
BEAUTIFUL...I LOVE IT .
Please help me if I want to make one half of this measurement that you have made with, is that suitable for kids upto 10 or 12 years. If I make half of this
thelondon12345 it will get alot smaller.. i think this size is better for kids up to 10-12 years. Good luck 😊
Fantastic!👍😁
Lol your cat is so cute
Please teacher! which kind of foam do you use? 15d, 30d, 40d?
I don’t what kind of foam it was in those numbers. We dont have that in my country. But i would go with a soft foam but not to light. Good luck!
Hey, @Josefin Larsson, I would like to ask you what is the difference between the material you use to put inside the beanbag and the EPS material (the small white balls)?
I used simple foam like from a mattress. In other beanbags there are styrofoam balls.
@@DjosieN Actually I saw that some are using memory foam which is incredible. Btw Great job!
Excelente 👌
They are awesome
You should make and sale them
