Pattern Weights

I am getting in the mood to sew….that might take a while as I get in the right frame of mind…some holiday scrub tops. Yes, Christmas and Hanukkah tops. Yes, I know the holiday is over but it will be back and once again I will be without a holiday scrub top to wear. Besides, holiday fabric is cheap now and my holiday to-do list is empty right now….it won't be that way in October or November. So.. being the totally organized person I am (quit laughing) I am assembling the things I need to make the tops. Pattern…check….thread…check…fabric…check….pains..I mean pins..wait, there's got to be a better way…how about pattern weights?
So I looked on the web for some ideas and here's a few I came up with:

Washer Paper Weights from Pin and Paper
Maybe now that they are pretty people won't think they're so weird.

So, what do you think? Are these not the bomb? OK, still great ideas. What did I decide on? I'm the queen of the thrift shops so the thrift quilt squares, of course, and since I had a bag of aquarium gravel handy (who doesn't) that's what I used to fill them with.
