This "glass microbead" material is very good filler for making benchrest bags for shooting rest -- sandbags filled with beads instead of sand. The glass beads are clean, no dust/grit/crap; glass beads don't absorb water, don't rust, won't leak abrasive grit/dust, and are good weight/density for shooting rest.These "microbeads" are just clear little glass balls (no hole, just a sphere) with size approx 1 mm to 2 mm in diameter. The volume of beads in the 10 pound box is about 2.5 liters.Note: For the bags, the stretchy lycra cloth tube of 'women's fashion leggings' is easy to use (double it up).

The glass beads were a lot smaller than I expected but worked just fine. Very heavy box but sealed well. The only con is that they made a mess when opening the bag. I was able to vacuum and sweep up but I would recommend being careful if opening around babies or pets.

Good glass beads for weighting reborn. Only issue there was is that some leaked out. I think they should probably double bag for shipping.

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! 👿

I bought these for my weighted vest . I sewed little pouches and dropped them in . My only complaint is that I wish the beads themselves were a bit bigger .

These beads are perfect for stuffing things but are very fine so make sure you put them in something they can’t fall out of.
