the directions are now given right at the water-sorb site! This is where I buy my crystals in bulk for my container plants!

Thanks for the info. I bookmarked it for future use.

Thanks for this site. I have wondered where to get crystal for the filling the 'cool ties'
|
this is so funny...I just ran into a fellow crafter here in town and she was buying Soil moist crystals at Lowe's....I asked what she was doing with them and she said...making cool ties...cuz she had just bought two of them for her DH and they cost nearly $8.00 each! AND the blue one started bleeding as soon as they put in the water...
so I asked her if she had a pattern...guess what..she went to this website and is making these..hehehe...I thought that was just too funny....so tomorrow, my buddy Suzy and I will be making cool ties! |
Thanks

very informative--&"cool"
i thought of just throwing a measuring tape around your neck & see how far you want these to "hang"! |

You can buy a large bag of it at Home Depot of Lowe's in the gardening section. No need to buy online if you can get it local.

I've been making these fast and furiously to give away at my office - we have so many clients who work out in the heat - 109 here yesterday (I know a lot of you have it hotter, but that was a record breaker for us!).
Thanks for the info about the Watersorb - I'll look at it when I finish my jug of Soil Moist. |
thanks for the link and information
|
Thanks for the info. I had never heard of these before this.

just remember this is one time you MUST wash the fabric first...the gel crystals when wet will really make the fabric bleed if you don't!
|
Thank you

just went to hobby lobby...they have some crystals in a jar. since they are in the wedding stuff..they are 50% during the Bridal event sale! It is a 6oz jar and was $5.00! That will make some ties for sure!

Are these crystals the 'beads' that are put into house plant soil?

Why would the crystals be in the wedding department of Hobby Lobby.?
I don't have to find a garden supply center to find these special beads/crystals...Hobby Lobby, here I come. |
