Tap Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I would like to make a weighted blanket but want to fill it with pellets not rice/beans/gravel so that it is washable. Any ideas on where to find/buy them? Or what to watch for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 How about using plastic beads or there are things called Poly-pellets that I have seen on doll making websites and they are designed for just this use I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I bought them in the doll making department of the craft store (Hobby Lobby). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommee & Baba Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I just bought some from Joanns online for $6.99/bag of 2lbs. I bought 4 bags because I'm going to be making oldest dd a weighted blanket. I went with the poly pellets because you can wash and dry with them in the blankets with no molding issues :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
