Filler for Pod Pillow
Raggiemom posted this pattern on the thread that lynnie started (titled: Help, need a quilty gift for a guy). The pattern calls for Plastic doll crafting fill beads for the inside. Does anyone know what these are & where they can be purchased? I've seen other things like this filled with rice but I don't like the idea of bug attractions. :(
http://www.westminsterfibers.com/pdf/podpillow.pdf I think these would make great Christmas gifts. Thanks in advance. |
Looks like a great idea and gift!
I think this is what they are (at Joann's, use coupon): http://www.joann.com/plastic-stuffng-bead/1758416.html Hobby Lobby and Michael's probably has them also. Maybe even a local upholstery shop. I think that is what bean bag chairs are filled with. |
Bean bag chairs have little styrofoam pellets they are light these have some weight to them.
|
Look for polypropylene beads.

I bought mine at JoAnn's.
|
I just stuffed the ones I made with regular pillow stuffing, filled firmly. I never thought to use the pellets.
|
Years ago I got them from a doll parts store. I filled doll bodies with them made the dolls be able to sit. They added weight also. These were collector dolls not toys.
