TUMBLER BEADS, DONE DIRT CHEAP 

I notice it doesn’t say, “No stuffed animals were harmed in the making of this film” at the end.

I got a great surprise the other day. My big brother who is also into rocks. I was badgering him about selling me his used Dremel tools. While I was talking he asked me about my address and he was quiet for a bit. I asked if he was still there he said yes. I just finished ordering a new Dremel with a 250 tool kit. I'm blown away. Basically his stuff is boxed up somewhere he said it was easier to buy me one than find his used sets. Big brothers are the best. Now when it gets here I can finally get to work on some rocks. 🎉🎉💞😂💝💝☕☕

Excellent video as always! Please keep up the great education and entertainment.

Hahaha! Dude that is brilliant! Seriously dude! Great vid and great advice as always mate! 👍👍👍

Love how you teach people the way to save on money.

Thank you ... You are a genius and worthy of appreciation and admiration

Great find. Thanks !

That was funny and informative! Thank you so much Sir! Loved it!

Great idea. Love the frugal mindedness!

Great information. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

Love the ah ha moment ... thanks for sharing with us in NC!

Guess I'll be heading to the second hand shops to see if I can get me some pets. thanks for the tip.

Amazing!! Great thinking!

Cool idea

I had thought of doing this as well if I can find cheap enough stuffed animals. Looking at yard sales or second hand stores might be my best bet.

I like the 70's SNL reference. lol

You’re the real MVP

Great tip, thank you!

The name of the video made me laugh way too loud and 4:30 AM, and also made my night/morning😂

What a great idea, the Lortone plastic pellets are so expensive, any more tips to save money are great appreciated.

More good ideas! Looking for the animals now. Grandkids beware -Pawpaw is on the hunt.

Great idea.

Great Video !! Made me hungry for Bacon...LOL

Thanks! Great idea!

Great advice, thanks.

Super genius. Gotta go shopping for stuffed toys now.

My kids got angry I was doing recon on their beanie babies so I went to hobby lobby and found a big ass bag for five bucks and I didn't have to have animal carcasses lying about to give the kiddies nightmares.

Came for the title, stayed for the beanie babies. Awesome video

I only separate "grit" beads from "polish" beads. I use corresponding empty jars from the grit or polish to store them so there's no confusion.

Fantastic great to know thanks big guy how is your puppy doing

Those are the kind of AH-HA moments that keep you up at nite until you act on them ( for me anyway coz I a little weird )..lol..great info my friend!

cool beans, never put a thought to the stuffed toys and the beads that are in them... I'm off to the thrift stores!

Hiya meMiner, I buy mine at Hobby Lobby. 6 U.S dollars for 10 pounds. Works great. Have a great day.

Little Rock's to Boulders, it tumbler snow season, great idea. let Amy practice surgery, re-stuff and sew them up.

Funny and informative video...If you keep recycling the plastic beads I guess not too much harm done to the environment. Keep up the great work!🙏🏼👍🏼😄

You monster 😂 Great idea thanks sir ✌️PT

I think this guy has particular set of skills.

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing.

Cool !!!

What a great tip..Thankyou very much..

You might want to do a quick eBay search to check the current value of the collector toy. Some of those could be sold for enough cash to buy more beads than the toy holds. I recognize the tag on yours, I had a girlfriend that spent a fortune collecting that brand.

I wish I would have seen this video before I bought 2 lbs of plastic beads from an ebay supplier. Ah live and learn. 🤷‍♂️

Stuffed animal sacrifice on the meMiner channel. Love it!

Love the witty title.

What an awesome reuse of old and nasty stuffed animals!!!! Watch out grandbabies, this old granny will be hunting your old toys! LOL

great tip, much appreciated 👍👍

Time to dip into the wife’s Beanie baby stash and stock up on some plastic beads. Do plastics last longer then ceramic as far as the life time of each?

Murder, you slaughtered innocent little aminuls . Yes, there is a slight difference in the two plastics, the beanie toys contain a softer plastic than the beads, there is also polymorph plastic which is similar, used for forming your own plastic items and finally there is hot glue but that requires being cut up. The good thing about glue sticks is you can cut any size you require. Stay warm.

Is there a non-plastic option? I'm wary of creating microplastic particles and dumping them into the environment. Water softener salt, maybe?

I would love to live in a world without plastic. I hate the stuff! Unfortunately, it also provides me with a job. So who am i to....

I am laughing so hard at you making the "oh no, aah" sounds.

It may have been mentioned, but Hobby lobby has 1 pound of Marigold Market Doll Shop plastic pellets for $5.99. Use the internet coupon for 40% off. They work great.

The poly pellets that are sold for stuffing weighted blankets work I bought 2 lb for $6 at Jo-ann's

great

I Recognize that toy it’s worth $285 LOL thanks for the info do you still have snow where you’re at

Ahh man thanks and don't wanna be a drag but do you know any non plastic options ? Adding even more powdered plastic into the water supply kinda brings me down...

I have snort the red bull beanie baby without the tag. Certain ones are worth so much money. Check you beanie babies first, lol.

New camera brother? Love the hat! From Texas! Yeehaw!!! N

The plastics injection molding process uses plastic beads by the zillions of tons and in every color. That’s why they are cheap enough to use for stuffed toys. If you find a source your price will drop to nothing.

This is the same stuff used for injection molding. if you have a place near by or know someone who works at a factory. They do put lots for recycle if its contaminated. May be you could get it cheep. Its the H.D.PE you want

Still sitting on those beanie babys you were duped into buy in the 90's? Well we have have got some good news for you.........

Hmmmm ?.....Ironically, my daughter spent her college time in bean bag furniture that can NOW pay for her tuition.

No Stuff Animals Were Actually Harmed in This Video NOT!!!!, Funny Video Nice money saver ideal!!! Thanks MeMiner!!!; )

TOP... :O)

Like 14 I really like your channel. Like and kiss, beautiful thing! My love

I wonder if plastic bb's would work

any videos of these being used in a clear lid tumbler?

Can they be used to polish the stones

I use airsoft bbs!

Awesome video. Those are beanie babies they were all the rage a few years back. A fad like chia pets and pet rocks. My vinegar has worked on most of my rocks. To the point most of the calcite is gone yeah woot woot. Being on a limited income and building my diy home. Home comes first and if I have extra then the rocks get some vinegar. I was watching about the citrus acid powder wowzer that worked way faster than vinegar. I was soaking this white stone I thought was calcite cause I'm such a babe in the woods. I think it was one of the sandstone or limestone and it wasn't coming off fast enough to suit me so me being me got frustrated and picked up one of many harder rockd and hit it (I couldn't find my lady hammer) till I chipped off a piece its real pretty inside but sadly looks like the same stuff just different color. It will look pretty in my rock garden. Ok I have a question I understand translucent and opac (SPELLING) and clear. What makes me confused is agates can have rings and circles they don't show up. So you gave two pretty shiny translucent rocks with shades of caramel and dark chocolate.Both have Concoudial fractures but they are slightly different in subtle ways like one is just a touch less shiny or has an odd feel not so buttery smooth. Here's the confusing question one is a possible agate, what would the other one be jasper, chirt, calcedany, flint, quartzite, or a mineral of some type. Then there's the thing about morphic rocks that one has me way beyond confused when I'm struggling to learn the names. By the time I learn to identify flint will have turned into chert...wwhhaat that's just not fair. 😹😹 😳

Is this Liam Neeson on the down low?? LOL.

There will now be more gutted beannies found in the senseless search for tumbling beads signed people for the ethical treatment of beanie baby's .PETBB lmao

I bought a rock Tumbler. reading the instructions it said that the grit and Powder is very toxic and cancer causing. Is there any other way to tumble the rocks without getting cancer or sick???? i want to try it so bad but now I am afraid of the white powder? Any suggestions PLEASE? Love how yours turned out! Gorgeous!

Ha! Oh my hahaha

Hey Greig ~ Excellent tip here ~ Have you ever tried >> Corn

How do you know when to use ceramic or plastic beads, is it just the hardness of the rock or something else?

Have you tried the tile spacers that are cross shaped ~ I saw someone on another RU-vid channel uses them (I’d have to check on which one, not sure of the name offhand)

😂😂 poor little fella

Hey did you sew the poor pound pups back up ;-), do you think that these types of beads could be used for aroma beads for air fresheners? But i'd imagine that they won't soak up the essential oils awesome smells. What's your opinion on this?

OMG! You're so cruel! Ought to post a warning for your more sensitive viewers!!! (Glad the pig went 1st - I hope Daisy wasn't watching!!) Sounds like an idea - you could always restuff the toys with old pantyhose or chopped cotton cloth - safe for a doggy toy! 🙀😉😄🐾

Bye-bye Beanie Babies I'm going to go out and get as many as I can

My thought is that may have been a $1000 beanie baby you just slaughtered for a live audience. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why is a Canadian wearing Confederate flag on a hat. There's no reason to say it's part of his ancestry. So what's the other reason?
