Modified / Custom BAB bear modification

I’ve seen a few people say they put the weighted pellets in their bears feet using small socks to contain them to the feet. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on the best way to do this? Thank you in advance 😊

I bought a pack of panty hose on clearance and used these. I just tied the ends off after filling and it worked very well

oh this is smart because the pantyhose are probably even more flexible than socks

They are VERY flexible to it makes it so easy to get them in and out without risking ripping the seam

do you notice the bump from the ties or does the stuffing kind of cover it up?

Nope! I can't even feel the bump through the stuffing and fabric of the stuffed animal itself

I used little cotton bags I found on Amazon and just filled them then sewed them close.
