firstlady Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I haven't made any yet. but the water crystals are used to make smelly jellys out of. air fresheners. you mix them with water, fo and food color. they swell up and soak up the water.

hollyberry Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 RANDOM ***** when they are reconstituted they are also great to toss in with your houseplants when going on vacation to keep them watered...minus the FO and color *****just had to toss that tidbit out there....

Pam W Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 just a little FYI: the crystals really swell up. Did a little test -- put 2 tsps of crystals in a coffee cup filled w/warm water - the crystals swelled to 1/2" above the top of the cup -- do I need to get a life or what:tongue2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
