Fabric/pattern weights.....i made these for myself and two friends we get together once to "have a chat and exchange ideas" the printed fabric is the back of the weights they are filled with a pouch dry rice and glass pebbles...soozie

Have thought about making fabric weights and after seeing yours mine may become a reality! I have never used fabric weights but I think they would be much better than poking holes in the fabric with pins. I like the idea of using glass beads because I bought tons of them for another "good intention" project that hasn't materialized yet ;-) Thanks for posting your fun fabric weights!

I bought some curtain weights from Curtain Wonderland. What about fishing weights would that work for you?

Using the rice give you a 2 for 1. When your not using them a weights you can use them as a hot pack by putting them in the microwave for a minute or so.... They feel wonderful when your hurting or aching... I make them for myself just make them longer... Love the designs.

With rice or sand in them, they would make great toss toys for youngsters.
