How to make Five Stones?


This is a very simple to make craft project (I took longer to write this tutorial than to make them!) and it uses fabric scraps 10cm x 7cm. Five stones is a traditional game, one that many played when they were young. I’m not sure if people in other parts of the world also play this. More information on how to play, visit:

Anyway, let’s get started!

Step 1: You’ll need 5 pieces of fabric scraps measuring 10cm x 7cm. I chose different but similar linen prints for randomness.

Step 2: Next, fold the wider side right sides together and sew an L-shape.

Step 3: When you’re done, turn it inside out. Tip: Snip the corners so you’ll have sharper points when you turn it over.


Step 4: Pay attention now! Pinch opposite sides together!

Step 5: Fill with plastic pellets, beans, rice or anything with a bit of weight, about 60% full, then fold down inwards (about 1cm deep).

Step 6: Carefully machine-sew across the opening or hand slip-stitch for a perfect finishing. (I chose the easy way.)
