They actually grow!

This is so cool! I apparently didn't pay close attention when I bought this because I was expecting them to come full size. Well, I excitedly opened my package and was initially a little disappointed by how tiny the package was. I figured I would have to return them because there was no way that I was paying for what I thought it was. I got back on Amazon to look them up again and that's when I noticed the growing part. So, I followed the instructions on Amazon and they actually grew! It was so cool! I had my daughter help me so she could see it. She is obsessed with them now. Totally happy with this!

Quick, easy, good volume.

Nice volume, performed exactly as expected. I use these for crafty decor for tabletop gaming and around the house. Each of the small bottles took approx 1/8 tsp to fill with soaked beads, and they were dyed with simple grocery store food coloring! If you need more consistent coloring, mix the color and water first, stir them regularly during soaking. I also add essential oils to these bottles as room diffusers - the oil does not absorb into the beads, stays on the surface for a light scent that fades as the beads dry over the weeks.

Great look and value

Bought these to use as filler for table centerpieces. I wasn't sure how much I would need, so I poured 2 gallons of distilled water into a 5 gallon bucket and poured a whole bag of beads in. It only took a few hours before the beads were fully expanded. I filled 10 quart jars about 2/3 full and used a little more than half of the breads from the bucket. I think I could have gotten away with only expanding half the bag of beads, but since there weren't any instructions I had to go off what others had posted. I thought these were a great and inexpensive way to fill jars. Bonus - my kids loved playing with them, so the leftovers are for them. I will totally buy these again.

Five Stars

This is after 3 weeks and it’s still not dried out

Slippery

Took awhile to do them all but it was beautiful for what we needed. They were in the vases under the cakes.

Thumbs Up

Used these for a wedding...that didn't happen. BUT, they are as expected. When I got the package, I thought it wasn't enough...it sure was! I filled 12 cylinder vases and still had more in the package that I didn't have to let grow over night.-Mom

super fun and last a long time!

I purchased these to decorate my house for a birthday party, with lights inside and they looked fantastic. They are really fun to play with too! I was surprised at some of the reviews that said these were too small. They are the standard size, a bit smaller than a marble. The problem that some ppl may be having is that the package doesn't come with directions. But all you have to do is google it.... Soak the tiny beads in water (in a BIG container if you're doing all of them) and let them soak over night. they will grow to full size and you can drain the water and put them in vases. they start to shrink after about a week or so, once they're too small for your liking, you can continue re hydrating the beads in water, and they should last up to 2 years!! pretty cool. You can also put them in plants to keep plants hydrated, or to replace soil entirely. have fun !

Plant Jelly Balls to use vs Soil: Let the competition begin !!

PART 1 of Review I just started using them today...a couple hours ago & I must admit, they are pretty cool !! I’m not sure just how big they will get but in about 2-3 hours or so, they have expanded at least 100 X, it seems like, from the original size....hard to tell. But I’ve only used made 1/4 of bag ....the photo shows the remaining 3/4. Plus other photo shows how large they became after about 3.5 hours. The package was so small that it was hard to believe there were as many as 10,000, the description stated bc they were so tiny they.,..now is experimentation time !! I want to add a “mother in-law” plant, that is growing like mad ! I’ll keep you guys updated on how it’s going ....but so far so good !! Now, I need to figure out what else (like plant food) that I’ll need to add. Plus find out how long they last & maintenance, etc Any suggestions/ideas would be great. Also, take note that I have not yet compared the value, will add later

They are gorgeous and there are a lot in this bag. Dont ise the whole bag unless you are going to use it all.

They were perfect for my project. They increased in size as described and we were almost totally translucent in a glass vase with water. We used them as a centerpiece for a wedding table and put fairy lights down in the vase with them Came out gorgeous. There are a lot more than you think though when they start swelling up and getting bigger.

Exactly what I expected!!!

I bought these for a fun bath experience and I got exactly what I paid for. The texture is wonderful and therapeutic. Shown in the picture is only half of the bag soaked for a few hours. For such a tiny package and starting size (like the size of a round sprinkle) these little orbs can really expand!
