I just went to hobby lobby...they have some crystals in a jar and 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!

Can you tell us how this is done?

Are the ties used to cool your neck during hot spells or hard work or workouts?

here is my post with the link to make them...they even show how to make a VEST for those working outdoors!

Thanks for the info.

it is an easy pattern..you can whip these up so fast, using the "ugly" fabric if you got any...you can even double some of the thinner fabrics if you have some...

I found some at my little family owned hardware/garden shop.
I have yet to make something with them yet!

Remember to use the crystals SPARINGLY!!! They swell up almost 400% of their size..it only takes a small amount to fill up a cooling scarf or a helmet cooler. 1/4 to 1/8 teaspoon.
