Stuffing or filler ideas needed.

10 years ago

What can you stuff a bean bag /pillow type object with other then fiber-fil? I need a bit of weight to it and I don't want to use a food product or cat litter. Is corn cob bedding a possible choice or do you have any other ideas? Bean bag filler is quite expensive and I need something that will fill a 9" x 9" square object.

Thanks

I'm happy that someone has posted under crafts! Wish it would happen more often....

I don't know about the type of stuffing, but I have found the ladies at the fabric stores to have lots of knowledge about that type of thing!

I just bought some corn cob bedding, I think its going to be just right. I Also heard cracked walnut shells or cherry pits but they are more expensive.
