Late Night Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Thanks TexasBrat. I wondered what those were made of and where you could get the stuff. Do they stay cool or does your body temp. warm them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macyboutique Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 How much does those sell for? That would be a good item too sell at softball games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleFreak Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I luv these things....I paid $5 a piece for mine from a lady at a craft show last year....they are the best things ever...great for mowing grass and doing yard work!!! I soak mine in ice water...shocks ya at first but is wonderful...they really really work! I've worn it for up to 2 hours without it getting too warm...just keep flipping it whenever it felt like it was warming to my temperature. then just poured some additional cold water on it or tossed in fridge for alittle to cool down!and Macy they would go great on a softball or baseball field....the girls would only be allowed to wear them in the dugout due to uniform codes..but the parents would greatly appreciate them!!!

TexasBrat Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I am wondering if it matters about the size of the water crystals. I seem to have some really huge ones, they got almost the size of a grape so to speak. I have never made or used these before and keep meaning to make myself one when I'm out walking. I'll post what I find in using them. I can remember my mom bought one for my step-dad 20 years ago and she paid I think about $15.00 but I think they may have been harder to find than in todays time so $5.00 seems more appropriate.

CandleFreak Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 you can even go one ebay and buy them for like $2 a piece....so maybe if you don't have time to make them...you could buy them from another person and then markup from there....i just bought 10 from a lady on there as gifts to throw in the family's baskets at our 4th of July bash.....if I am happy with them I'll let you gals know...

They also sell them. I think it was 2 pounds for $15 and 5 pounds for $30. You only use about a tablespoon. I think I'll get a couple of pounds to play with.

CandleFreak Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 dumb question here - are these the same crystals that you make "smelly jellies" with??? I have no idea because I do not make those.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yes, the same crystals for smelly jellies. Some people have said they buy some at Walmart in the garden section but it is a little pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 millcreek has the water crystals 1lb for $6.95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macyboutique Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Have anyone try making the cooling bandanas? I do not have a sewing machine so that will be a little difficult for me too try and make right now unless I get someone who has a sewing machine or serger to do it for me. I probably will do like candlefreak and buy some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleFreak Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 just thought I'd update on the ones that I bought from e-bay! If you are looking for plain fabrics, plain design I have the lady for you! I purchased from sewmagicjackie and hubby and all his work buddies love me!!! She has limited colors but they were pretty inexpensive ($2 a piece with cheap shipping!!!!!! - which could easily be marked up to $5 or more if it is hot enough!! - like today!) If you are interested it is worth a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macyboutique Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I agree with you it was pretty hot today. How would I get in touch with her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
