Start to Sew!
If you are making a monster you can either
a) sew the face on the inside and make the sides look neat or
b) Sew the face facing out and make the edges look a little messier
For chias or regular beanbags:
Sew three sides of the beanbag and then turn it inside out or leave it right side in if you want the outside edges to look messy.

Fill It in With Beans

I Really Haven't Done a Chia So...

Leave the bean bag out in the rain, or if you live somewhere without rain, then just water it. The beans should grow out through the fabric and then, once its roots start to grow, you can plant it, even though it will look weird for home decor.
