I want to fill my one of my crochete bags with something different because it is too light and it really sucks. I was thinking prehaps BBs or tiny lead splitshot, but I figuered I would askyour opinions first....

What should I do to modify my ultra crappy crochete bag?

Test different stuff out. Dont make posts about it and research. And it would be better off paying $8 for a sandbag.

Try searching in stitching in all forums (here, footbag.org, flipsider, ect..) for fillers, filling, ect. I know for a fact there are filling threads already open.

Yeah, you will get the most feedback in the stitching forum. But, why would you want to go through the trouble of re-filling a bag like that with something different. You can easly spend as much money on a new sandman, and have a better bag.

Oh, and why would you want to modify a crochete bag in the first place?

Some crocheted bags become rather nice after you refill them. Hell, some become nice before refilling.

Bebe's helped when I (drained and) refilled a crocheted bags (one of the super full, dense hot topic ones, no less). Not to mention war hack at school....

If you go to a craft or fabric store you’ll find the plastic pellets are usually called Polly Pellets.

are they heavy? I want a dense and heavy filling that will be like three or four plastic pellets in the size of 1 plastic pellet.... do you understand this?

Then you're looking for bird shot. You can get that at most stores that carry gun supplies (as far as I know). Zeke told me about bird shot and said that it's smaller than bbs are, but is still heavy. I think that's what he said...

i walked through a dollar store and found beads of many designs....but one type of bead they had was fairly small plastic with a metal (most likely aluminum) ring in the middle and is has good weight to it without being bulky in size. um point of the story is check your dollar stores...
