Transparent Water Gels Kit - Fills 1 Gallon for the Floating Effect - With Measured Floating Gels Prep Bag for Best Results

These really work really good long lasting

I just bought and used these water gels for a party and they were awesome! The gels disappeared as I added water (and the disappearing act is actually pretty cool to watch) and the pearls "floated" beautifully in my clear cylindrical vase. If you don't add water, it looks like the vase is full of glittering crystals which is pretty too. Here are some tips I learned from my experience.1) You can buy this product in a quantity of 1, 2, 3, or 10. Be aware that the name and description for qty 1 is not correct! The listing strongly implies that you get 2 packets but the seller is Amazon and they are only shipping 1 packet. Amazon gave me a refund but they haven't fixed the listing. The other choices are sold directly by Pearlfection, and those names/descriptions are accurate: Qty = # of Packets.2) I have 2 vases which each holds 4 cups of water. 1 packet of water gels was more than enough to fill both vases to the top (with a floating candle), although it did not initially appear to be enough.3) I let the gels absorb water overnight (more than 12 hours) before I used them. The owner of Pearlfection advised not to put in too much water as it would cause the pearls to sink. I didn't think I had enough water gels in the vase but after I added water I had to scoop a bunch out in order to have the water level over the gels but not overflow my vase. After a few hours, I noticed that the gels were poking above the water level so I scooped more out and added a little water. By the next morning (the morning of my party), I had to scoop again. I guess the gels just keep absorbing the water! I ended up with enough excess gels that I set up a third, smaller vase.4) The best way to arrange the pearls is to put in some water gels, then some pearls, then more water gels, then pearls, etc. Afterwards, I used a plastic chopstick to easily poke the pearls down and push them around.Highly recommend!

I bought these for my daughter's birthday party and they were so fun! I used the gels to layer safari animals in a clear vase, with flowers/greenery.I have not yet used the gels a second time, so they are currently sitting in a container full of water, per the vendor's instructions.

These are so awesome and so easy to use! Got these for my sister's baby shower and used with vases, pearls, and candles and got so many compliments! I filled them up in gallon zip lock baggies the day before I was going to use them so they were all full and ready to go. If you're doing lots of these I recommend using a cooler, it gets heavy. Also, make sure you get baggies that will seal tight and water can't run out (the zip lock kind not the kind with the little zipper that slides at the top). These were super easy to put together, it takes a little time, but I'd never done these before and was surprised how easy it was to do and how great it looked! If you are going for the floating beads look, get a spoon and spoon in some water beads, and then just keep layering water beads and different colored pearl beads and you'll get the floating look. Then top it off with a little water where you can slightly see a few clear beads poking at the top (too much water could cause your colored beads to sink) and then just place a candle on top...will look great!!!

I love all this stuff ordered for wedding great prices

My first project with these came out nice! Hope to order more beads in the future.

I am a crafter and always wanted to try these beads. I purchased them for an event I was having and was so happy with the results. I re-use them now for my all holiday table centerpieces.Product came with everything needed and clear instructions. I recommend this product to all my fellow crafters.

We used these for part of the center piece at our wedding. They were the perfect colors and just the right size. They looked really good and everyone bragged about them. They were put together perfectly!
