Metal and sand in Crocheted footbags

Post by billyg »

Has anyone tried putting metal or sand in crocheted footbags? It seems like that would make them a lot more stallable, but I've never tried it. I'm thinking sand would leak, but metal seems like it would work well.

When I was working in a school I had a parent crochet a bag for me. I told her that it might be difficult to fill, and she suggested panyhose as a lining to prevent the shot from leaking out. It doesn't leak, but I've never really used it, since it's a crochet bag after all..
