Sandbag diminsions?

I had some material I was thinking of making a sandbag out of with my moms sewing machine, and was wondering, what were the exact diminsions/specs on the sandbag?

Not sure, i'd post this in the prop replication forum, I know "propreplicator" does or used to; make a sandbag. Or try watching Raiders, the scene right before he goes into the temple?

Good luck

Make sure you get the large eyelets made by Dritz from Jo-Anns fabrics if you can. They have a rivet that goes on each side of the hole (one fits through the other one) and look much nicer than anything else that I tried. Plus they come with a setter if you buy the kit and they were much easier to set due to their construction. If you are using a linen, you might consider doubling the fabric to give it an extra layer and make it a little tougher, just something to consider. Hope this helps.

It's dimensions are 8 1/2" X 11", at least on my Magnoli bag.
