Bright Creations Weighted Glass Beads - Weighted Beads for Stuffed Animals & Plushies - Glass Microbead Filler for Crafts & Doll Weighting - Blanket & Pillow Filler - 10 lb, Clear

I got these for adding weight for my reborns and they turned out perfect. My dolls are so nice and heavy now and they fall perfectly against me when I pick them up. Their heads are heavy. Their bodies are heavy and the beads feel nice and packed in. The beads are so tiny. They aren't sand like but they are about poppy seed sized and so sparkly you almost don't want to hide them they're seriously pretty. Very round.no jagged edges. A seriously superior product. I was tempted to go with smooth pebbles or some other kind of weighting that would be less expensive but I'm really glad I went with these beads because when I squeeze the limbs on my babies I don't feel so much variance. I did use a mixture of glass beads and polyfil where I was dipping polyfil into the glass beads and letting it stick. Using these beads made the polyfil glass bead mixture almost like a molding clay and that's exactly what I wanted. It was the perfect mixture and it functioned exactly the way I needed it to. It was easy to use and I actually still have a lot of beads left over I could probably do another doll so I feel like it was money well spent. I definitely recommend them.

These were perfect. They were sealed very very well. There were no leakage I’ve made two weighted blankets.

These are quality weighted beads. I use them to weight reborn dolls and they work great!

Soooooo fun to play with! I made stress balls and this was perf!

Came nice and sealed in a kind of thick plastic bag. I put them inside of a plush for a family member and they loved the weight.

Worked well for the project I had in mind. Smaller beads than I expected.

These glass micro beads are perfect for filling a reborn doll. They contain no dust and are contained easily in an opaque nylon for the head and body.

The picture shows the top of my DIY weighted blanket and my German Shepherd dog “Bailey,” who considers every quilt I make - hers. Well, since I added the picture last, I lost everything I wrote about how I DIY made a weighted blanket and it took 30 minutes to write! I wrote a lot with full directions too! The 2 complaints I’ve heard about weighted blankets is that they slide off the bed and they get hot! I solved both those problems by using only cotton fabric for the top and bottom and cotton batting for in the middle. Most weighted blankets use polyester for the top and bottom and any filling inside. Polyester gets hot and it’s slippery! Using plastic pellets is cheaper yet you end up with a lumpy blanket and it gets hot also. Glass beads will get warm when it’s close to your body, yet cools off rapidly when moved away. So I basically made a quilt, I’m a traditional hand quilter, and I only use cotton for everything! Cotton is harder to quilt through and it’s not slippery. I used a thin layer of cotton batting for the middle section and so the glass beads were kept away from my body. The bottom cotton layer and the cotton batting is very breathable so I stay cooler. I read several reviews from others who used glass beads from other sources and possibly this one also, saying that it’s like sand and fell out. When I filled my first few squares, I too thought it was coming out when I flipped the just started blanket over to look at the back. After I worked a few more squares, nothing came out. I think what happened was that I was a bit careless and while pouring the glass beads in the channels I made, the tablespoon briefly touched the edge of the fabric, without my knowledge, and that’s where the slight spill came from. A small spill looks like a lot when it ran all over my quilt table, which is an old country store countertop that’s 6 feet long and 3 feet wide and solid wood! They sort of bounced, and since they were so tiny I brushed them on the carpet and I knew they wouldn’t hurt our 2 dogs if they swallowed them. Our dogs have swallowed bigger stuff than these! They are small glass beads, yet no sharp edges and they worked perfectly for my project!!! I wish my first and very long reply stayed because I gave all the steps needed for making my DIY blanket ! ARG! 👿
