Glass Microbead 10 lbs for Weighted Blanket Filler, Lap Pad, Other Therapy Sensory Project Craft Stuffing

The product is exactly how it was described. It will work perfectly for my blanket. The real reason I’m writing this review, however, is because I received a personalized, hand written note on the receipt saying thanks. Most companies don’t do this and, while it doesn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary, it is incredibly appreciated. It’s a glimmer of light at the end of a very dark tunnel and, the couple seconds it took to write it, has made the day of one who desperately needed a pick-me-up. Thank you. I will definitely purchase from this company again.

I made a blanket and put these in it. They worked well. As they're small they are a really nice size for in the blanket, they spread nicely and evenly. The downside is I used blanket batting to sandwich them between, and as they're small they'd catch on it easily and not just roll down the channels nicely as bigger beads might have, so I had to shimmy my arm and the measuring cup full of beads down each channel, dump the beads, then shimmy my arm and cup back up. Overall I'm very satisfied though. I am knocking one star as I did weigh them before starting and there was slightly less than 10 pounds in the bag, so I had to recalculate how much went into every square based on how much I was actually sent.

these are so small they float when you are trying to use them

weighting reborn dolls works great.

Perfect to make a weighted blanket

Love the heft and the "real" feel of glass versus the plastic beads. They are much smaller than I thought they'd be, though. I will mix them in with poly stuffing to distribute them. I would suggest using a tightly woven fabric when making therapeutic items. I was going to use a knit velour as the backing material but decided on batik cotton to lessen the chance of the beads working through the fabric.
