| Sold by the packet. One packet contains enough water crystals to make 12 - 8 oz jars. This would be enough to make a full case of 8 oz Mason Jars. (Please

These amazing water crystals swell to 400+ times their size. 1 teaspoon will
fill an 8 oz jar. They will add a special touch to your line because they are
very versatile. Use them to make smelly jelly, hold candles in arrangements,
floral arrangements, or cool ties. This is the perfect addition to a candle
line to sell to people afraid to burn candles. Plus this polymer formulation is
ready to go in very little time, you could literally make these at your sales
booth if you needed to!
Instructions for making "smelly jelly":
What you will need:
- 1 - 8 oz Mason Jar with Daisy Lid
- 1 Tablespoon fragrance
- 1 teaspoon water crystals
- Liquid soap
- liquid dye
- 7.5 oz of water (distilled is better)
Add 1 tablespoon of fragrance to your jar. Add to the fragrance a single drop
of liquid soap- any dish washing liquid will do. Swirl until it becomes a milky
color. Add water. Swirl until mixed thoroughly. Be careful not to shake too much
or your detergent will get foamy, this will not go away and you will have soap
bubbles in your crystals. This gives an interesting look, but it probably not
desirable. Add a single drop of liquid dye. You will want to use either liquid
glycerin dye, liquid soap colorant, or straight food coloring. Do NOT use candle
dye! Add your water crystals and stir or swirl well. Within an hour they will be
fully grown. It is helpful during the growth period to shake your jar and make
sure all the dye and fragrance is being evenly distributed. Do not add more than the recommended amount of the crystals or they will expand out of the jar!
Notes: It is better to use a distilled or purified water - water with
minerals in it will cause the crystals to be smaller. |
