Outdoor Fun | Cornhole Bags

Hey y'all!

I hope this post finds you doing well. If you follow me on twitter, you know that my husband and I make cornhole bags. If you've never played cornhole then you are missing out on great backyard fun!

Several years ago, friends introduced us to cornhole and we've been hooked ever since. It's a game played with a set of boards that have a 6" hole at the top. Below is an example of a set of boards we built.


The boards are placed 27' apart from one another. Two teams gather, one team member on opposite boards. The object of the game is for each team member to throw (4) corn filled bags, either to land on the board for 1 point or go through the hole for 3 points. The game is played alternating from each board until a team reaches 21. Think of it as a variation of horseshoes but with bags of corn. For more information about cornhole, check out the American Cornhole Association website.


We also manufacture cornhole bags. The bags are presently available in black, burgundy, navy, orange, purple, red and yellow. Each bag is 6" x 6" made from duck cloth and contains 16oz {1lb} of corn.

Yes, Cactus & Ivy is a manufacturer of bath and body goodness but I'm also a lover of all things that bring people together. I can't recall a time I have attended a yard gathering where cornhole wasn't present.

Thanks for stopping by y'all. Hope you have a great day and let the fun begin!
