What can I use as a substitute for lightweight dumbells?

Can you answer I Love Labs’s question about Bodybuilding?:

I need 2lbs and 4 lbs dumbells. I only have a set of 8lb ones. Im doing excercises that require light weights. What can I use as a substitute for them ?

    Bodybuilding Feedback: duct tape four 8oz cans of unopened soup together or 2 16oz cans for each dumbell.

    Bodybuilding Feedback: you can fill an old soda bottle with water or pennies to appropriate weight. use a scale to measure
