Need help re glass weighting beads

[safcfootienut_Jo]

Have a gorgeous painted kit here waiting to be built but am really struggling with what beads I need to buy for weighting. Have watched several YouTube videos but no one mentions what kind of glass to buy and if I need different sizes for the body and limbs. If anyone can help I would be very grateful......and so would my poor little bubba who has been sitting in his box for too long!!

personally for me, I like to use the very very small beads (almost like sand, I get a 5 gallon bucket at Grainger here) for the limbs and then larger ones that cannot fall through the nylons in the head and body. I order on Ebay from a lady named Sybil.

Hi Jo,

Have you tried Tinkerbell Creations they are in the UK. If you want to only do one doll they also do a deluxe weighting kit for £9.99
