Make your own teabag. Fill it with hops. Tie up (if you overfill yours like mine) and chuck 'er in.

I've had a mouth of disintegrated pellets. Not nice - don't chuck 'em in commando.

i made up a voil bag and in it went

1st i tried a bit of thin fishing line to tether it but the seal leaked...

after a couple of goes i just left it to float around and will fish it out later and did not bother with the tether
 
For the tether ive been using dental floss. its thin and flat enough that it does hold a seal, although the first time i tried it did seem a bit sus, so i try to avoid keeping the gas hooked up whilst dry hopping.
 
I use a large tea infuser and hook it to the outlet tube of the keg using a small bulldog clip. Works great and easy to remove when you have reached the target aroma..
 
I think it is TidalPete who throws the hops in a bag with a small s/s nut in it, and a plastic fishing float.

The float keeps the bag afloat, but the small nut ensures the bag is in the beer and not floating on the top
