Scott Bird of the venerable Straight to the Bar has directions for making sandbags for $10. They're actually bags full of smaller sand-filled bags, which strikes me as a good idea for manipulating weight volume.
Gotta post this here so I don't lose track of it for my to-do list. Thanks, Scott!
To buy -
- 8-10 heavy-duty freezer bags (the ‘snap lock’ ones are great if you can get them)
- large hessian sack
- large heavy-duty garden sack (to fit inside the hessian one)
- roll of cloth tape
- ball of twine
- about 20kg(45lb) of sand (any kind with a fairly small grain)
Thanks also to Jason Casey of No Stinking Gym. Here's his article on sandbags, and he kindly gave me more helpful info, including the valuable tip of getting play sand from a home improvement store.

Cheers for the links Kat. Make sure you post pics/video of the end result - should be great.
