Test results with BB's

A bit of bling for the inside of the bags
Image

Testing the velcro (near 2 lbs of BB's and holds fine)
Image

fill about 1/4 full to help slide the inside bag in the outer
Image

fill it up the rest of the way.
Image

All closed up and ready to sit on stuff! 1 6000 count container of BB's will do 4 bags at about 1lb 3oz each
Image

4 poster corners up (rather held down)! Another winner design.

Thanks for testing them out for me and the great review. Terrific pics and how-to. I dig the hell outta' making these...the exposure I get to the art using different art/artists images is a bonus. I learn something new everyday...love it.

I will say that if you buy 2 containers of bbs, you can end up with ~2lb bags with a few BB's left over. They will be fat little sausages, but the should be able to hold down the heaviest print. Also, the silver daisy version of the BB's are a couple of dollar's cheaper than the copper covered ones, but they were out at Academy.

If you filled them with 2lbs. of bb's, do you think that you would still be able to get the outer flap over the inner bag? I made the outer bags a bit wider to accommodate...not much wider, though. Just curious.

Good point. It would be tough to flip the flap over with the inner bag that full. You might be able to do it if you are careful, but 1.5 to 1.75 pounds would probably be max to still get the flap pulled over. Plenty heavy though.

:wink: See? I told you, noeldaddy, that the images you chose turned out great. Hey...you guys pick the images - the art/artists are what make them great. I just put them on fabric for you...I get the easy job. I'm glad you like them. Thanks for posting.

Just to clarify...as much as I would love to make the EB Peculiar bags - I have not. Ratty' s post seems to insinuate that he ordered some..that is not the case.
