I think, I will make some and fill with ground walnut shells and they can be pin cushion too....❤
May I just say that this tutorial is so clever and mind blowing! I have been sitting at my cutting table wishing I had weights to hold my pattern in place. When I looked into the cost of manufactured weights, I was stunned. The price for just four weights is too much for my pocketbook. I thank you, thank you, thank you for this marvelous idea. I have everything to start making my own weights right here in my craft room. Thank you for sharing this idea on CZcams.
What a great and clear tutorial!! I'm just a beginner and I hope to follow you for more great tips!! Firstly - these weights! Thanks xx
Glad it was helpful!
I made 4 of these so easily with your tutorial. Thanks so much for the great video!
I think they'd be great for holding down information pamphlets on a table on a windy day!
Absolutely. What a great idea
These are so cute. I think I'll try to make a couple today. Thanks for the tutorial. :)
Scrap fabric and some metal bolts, screws or nuts in the middle works well too as filling :)
Good tip! Thanks for sharing
Great tutorial. I filled mine with the "glass gems" used to fill vases.
Brilliant- these are just what I need, I never knew how to make the triangle ones- they look very professional, thankyou & well done xx
Sew easy and SEW practical! Thanks
Great cost effective idea 😉
Thank you!!! 🪡
I just tried this for my first even seeing machine project and it was easy to do , good video!!!
Glad it helped! Keep on sewing - practice makes perfect
I made them 1/2 the size to and used fishtank stones instead of rice since I had it on hand! (No worries or mice lol) and I also throw 4 in my D&D bag to hold down out map since it likes to curl! The stones male it safe if we get it wet becuase we use wet erase markers!
using them to hold down maps while playing d&d is genius! I just made full sized ones but now I'm wondering if I need half sized ones too!
So easy to make!! And I didn't have to purchase anything. I made 3. One filled with quinoa, another with pennies and another with marbles
Wonderful! Sounds great. Thanks for commenting
Pennies work very well.
I’m looking for an alternative to rice - made some for a friend and she got mice invading her sewing room!!!
Sand, aquarium rocks, silica gel, or beads could work!
That's why I didn't want to use rice. I used beads from the dollar store

Seen ball bearings used, but I’ve used old copper coins as they are cheaper than buying ball bearings 😊
@@wendycollins3507 Thanks for the suggestion - in the interim I’ve read about and purchased shot balls. And found this weight suggestion - I need to bulk out with polystyrene balls. Success!
So cute!!! but not gonna lie half way in I was still wondering what the pattern pieces were for and why you weren’t using them 🤦♀️ not realizing it was just or demonstration purposes lol 😅
I did the same 😂
Me too!
What is the tool called that you turned the fabric for the handle around with?
Loopturner
Can u replace rice with other material, to avoid wastage of food and insects development inside the small bag,.
Yes you can. Just make sure that each weight is between 50 and 100grams (2 to 4 oz) depending on what you want to keep from shuffling
Yeah I was wondering about attracting insects as well.
Amma do this but Amma use dry pea
Smal beads, pebbles or anything that is not good or sand.
Rice is a terrible filler sand is a nightmare.
What’s that hook called please
it's a tube turner
Can you use sand for these as well??
If it's not super fine, you can try using sand as filler
