I have made 50 coolies with these and have had no problem. I had to adjust the amount used in each coolie to only 1 tsp. otherwise they were too bulky and was afraid it would slime throught the material. With only 1 tsp they are still very full. Made for all the girls on my kids softball team and for my Nephew in Afganistan.

can you help me, i bought some miracle gro water storing crystals, they just dissolved, the did not make the little beads i was hoping for, can someone tell me where to purchase the correct ones? i got these at home depot, and they were very expensive so i guess all my plants will get a good drink, but i wanted the ones that shrink and then expand, these just dissolved into nothing. thank heavens i did a test first.

Send me a PM and I will mail you some. I make cooling scarves for soldiers and have a gallon jug of crystals and will send you the source to purchase.
