dude you were holding the sand bag and i was like " come on show us the DIY bag not some production bag." totally blew my mind looks exactly like any sand bag i saw when working lighting and sound when i was in school.

Made my life so much easier. DollarTree near me didn't have the nice courier bags anymore, but they did have some kids backpacks. Which bonus have nylon straps on them so I can snip them off and use them for the handles!

How about a 10# bag for $1.25? Not quite as waterproof/washable as yours but it works for my tent in the windswept prairies of Nebraska! I realize this video is 8 years old, but was exactly what I needed to see. I was searching the 5 Quarters ( formerly Dollar Tree😉) store and happened upon these 11”x11 ” nylon backpacks with zipper and web straps. I cut the straps off and made double handles for my sandbags following your video. I did take the time to turn them wrong side out and reinforced the seams with my sewing machine. So perfect! Thank you. 🥰

Dog leash from the dollar store is the same handle material. Also the ratchet tie down straps.

One of the best explained DIY on making sandbags I've seen. Excellent points. I will perusing your list of tips very soon. Kudos!

Just made 10 of these. Even with my bad sewing skills these things look super great. I'm really happy with the way they look and feel. Thank you so much for the great idea!

Just a recommendation... I'd sew the handle perpendicular to the fold of the bag as it is a huge help when removing heavy bags from stands.

The bags will pinch the stands when sewn as in this video (when lifting off the stand); sewing the strap perpendicular to the fold will eliminate the pinching.

[blazegelcreations]

Love this so much. A loop at the ends of the handle towards the middle would allow tie straps for securing if needed. Or even extend with a slight overlap and add velcro to the loose ends

Silver sharpies are the best. They dont come off as easily as other colours. You can also go over silver with a colour as long as you're quick about it

Many thanks to you and your wife, this is just the pro-looking, well-planned, discrete solution we were looking for. Merci beaucoup!

[ivyprofen]

Thank you so much for this! I’m gonna use this idea for my agility tunnel saddle bags! Same concept just different use!

[mihaeyamamoto]

This is exactly what I was looking for. So glad to find it.

[cassandraperez]

Love this keep coming up with dollar hacks! Wish I saw this before I bought mine off Amazon first $25!

great video. About to film a cooking video and going to utilize my boom mic stands as a make-shift overhead rig. These sandbags are going to be the star of the show. Thanks again.

[dianethames]

Thanks so much for one of the best and most helpful videos I've ever watched. Simply presented by wonderful presenter and great tips!

[sallyhill]

thanks - I am making some now to use to hold down my patio table.

[BSOFireEMSGIS]

Awesome! Thanks for the great visuals!

[eshuorishas]

Great video. I will add after searching around for awhile for this idea, I did also read that Airsoft BBs or cheap dollar store plastic beads are great too as they are both waterproof.

[tiffanyneedsahobby]

This was incredibly helpful and pleasant to watch!

[robertwest]

I will be making mine for rifle rests but still just as helpful. Thanks.
