OK SO I'M TIGHT

what you will need

two paper clips, 35mm film canister, some foam packing, and a few bits to act as weight

ok so


these need opened up a bit smaller curved part is manipulated to give this



now start twisting the two together(2 pair of small pliers help)

make a hole in lid of 35mm canister and feed twisted ends through



now push twisted end through some packing foam( use lid as template for approx size but cut slightly too large)



push all the way till well through and bend end over



now pull back to bury the bent over twisted end in foam



now fill the bottom of canister with bits n bobs( swivels and links i had lying around.
THEY CAN BE USED TO FISH WITH IF NEEDED LOL WHEN NOT REQD FOR WEIGHT)



now put cap on canister (foam will stop the wires from turning)




then get tying with dubbing loops


eh voila
