They are so neat, I haven't made any yet, but plan to, have purchased some and they are great for working outdoors in garden or for someone mowing lawn, etc.

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!

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!

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.
