TwinMom Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I tried hitting search but came up with not too much. Can someone let me know what supplies I need to make smelly jelly jars and the best place to buy them. Thank you:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysj Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 As for the crystals(polymer) you can find them at your local nursery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMom Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thank you. Is the crystal stuff the same stuff you can use for weddings that you just add water to and then it 'puffs' up and you can put a candle on the top? Can you use liquid candle dye? It says bath and body liquid dye....this a great idea for airfreshners in bathrooms and under kitchen sinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yes those are the ones. I just use distilled water and regular food coloring. Since it isn't going to used on the skin I would think that you could use any type of liquid colorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sag_77 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 To my understanding you can not use candle dye as it is oil based. Smelly Jelly's are a water based item and the B&B color is also. I haven't tried but I think I saw somewhere that if you use candle dye it just sits in gobs. I could be wrong but that is just what I remember reading.

Fern-Marie Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Those jars are really cheap at the supermarket...and Wal-Mart has them too.Use food coloring, not candle dyes.Use a pinch of salt to each batch as a preservative.Use distilled water..also cheapest at Wal-Mart.www.crystals.us I think invented the stuff, and you can get ideas and good info about the gardeners water crystals vs. the smelly jelly crystals...worth the read.Good luck to you.
