About this deal
Shredded memory foam for a cozy and fluffy bean bag. I love these memory foams! They are made in the US and are perfect for bean bag projects. I saw people making bean bags from old sweaters or jeans, so let go of your imagination. If you have no fabric, probably you can use those old jeans nobody in your family uses anymore. Grab those old curtains in the house, look for a pyramid bean bag chair pattern (spoiler alert it is just a rectangle shape twisted on the top short side). I received some questions regarding other ways of donating (and who to donate to) and I just want to say that first of all DONATING IS SECONDARY. The needs of Gaza are huge, but that is due to the siege it is under and the massacre it is being exposed to! Sewing machine, I love my Brother sewing machine. It was inexpensive and worked great with different fabrics.
Hence, it is much more important to spread awareness and stand up for the human rights of Palestinians. The world has been silent for 73 years. We need to put pressure on our politicians, and on each other, to speak up for what is right. Sharing (not this post, but the posts by Palestinians, speaking about the oppression and the violence and the occupation) is more important than giving money. Especially since not much humanitarian aid from the outside can even reach Gaza while the bombing is taking place.
Needed supplies for making a pyramid bean bag
If you can use materials, you already have at home. I’m all about r epurposing old junk and make new cute home decor. I have reactivated my Patreon, and everyone who wants some new cc and builds can pledge there. All money will go to humanitarian aid for Gaza. There is plenty of other places to donate, if Sims builds isn’t your thing. The Palestinian Red Crescent society, for example. I also encourage all of you to use your platforms, however small you might think it is, to enhance the voices of Gaza and spread the word to your community. If you choose to donate, thank you. It is so, so appreciated, but please accompany this with using your platform to help spread awareness to your community.
It was a complete upcycle project and FREE of cost. If you follow my tips below, you can make it for free.

After you sew the seams together, take the open end and fold it perpendicular to the stitched short seam. Since I used 70″ X 72″ curtains, I simply folded the fabric in half. That gave me a 36″ wide and 70″ long material. If you want it smaller, adjust my measurements. You want to keep at least 1.5″ on the sides so you can sew them together. The bean bag cover will be removable for washing. Because it will be taken on and off and washed, you want to finish the edges of the fabric to prevent fraying.
