About: I've been a film-maker since I was 14, and a crafter since I was 4. As the years have passed, I've managed to combine my two passions to make costumes, props, and the occasional furniture.

Here's a blast from the past you Don't have to stand for!! (yeah, I went there)

For as long as I can remember, a large bean bag chair has always been on my list of "must haves" for bedroom furniture (just above a futon and below a hammock on my list) But with the prices these days, it's hard to find one and still afford other living room furniture.

I finally broke down and made one for my friends, mostly because their couches weren't long enough for me. I'll tell you now, this project screams comfort so long as you learn to sleep on your back. Best night of sleep I've had in weeks, and all my back pain was gone! (I guess that's what I get for sleeping on a futon since high school)

The total project costs around $120 to $150, but depending on what materials you want to use, it can be significantly cheaper.
