[Nfb-krafters-korner] Making A Weighted Blanket

[Daniella Roccasalvo]

Hello all,
I have just started subscribing to this list, so I am not sure how this works. If this is not the right place for my question, sorry about that.
                I have just started looming, and so far I really like it. I wanted to make a weighted blanket, but the only things I can find on the internet are things you need to sew, and I don’t know how to do that. Does anyone know if I could loom tight enough stitches so that stuff wouldn’t fall out of it? I am thinking of using glass gems that you can buy from like Walmart, or the dollar store, or Polly Pellets like the internet suggests, if they are not too expensive. Does anyone know what else I could use as well?
                Thank you all for your help!
