Transparent Water Gels Kit- Fills 1 Gallon for Your Vases for The Floating Effect- with Measured Prep and Storage Bag for Best Results

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 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!

These worked perfectly!! I’ll definitely be using them in the future. I leaned that one small scoop of beads fills the whole bag with gel balls when they expand. That was enough for all my vases and didn’t need the second bag full. They last for about 7 days, so we can enjoy the decor more than just a day. Love these!

Had to try them to believe it. They are incredibly crystal clear. They do cloud up if you use regular water after a period of time especially if your water is hard water. I switched to distilled water as recommended and it stayed clear for at least 2 weeks or more. Beautiful in glass cylinders with floating candle on top. I decorated some with the xmas colors of gold, red, green and silver. In the pics you will see I left some of the gel balls on top but you can cover them with water to let them disappear completely and to let the candle float more or leave them as is for more stability. I surrounded the smaller one with string lights and tinsel. Instructions say you need to hydrate about 10 hrs for full size before using. It also says you can dry them out again, rehydrate and reuse. They took weeks to dry out in a colander. They dried darker than original color in the package but I haven't tried to rehydrate yet to see if as they will be as clear for re-use.

Muy bueno me gustó mucho como me quedó la decoración fue un regalo q hice

These things are very easty to use... and turned out great - used them with the white and pink pearl beads, and 6x6 glass cylinder vases for my wedding (with pink roses) - they were a hit. The directions are kind of complicated and somewhat confusing, so I just winged it and they turned out fine. I separated them from the water afterwards and brought them home - still waiting for them to dehydrate? But these are definitely worth the money, you can reuse them!! Just have to find a place to store them until they shrink back down!!

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!

These gel beads and pearls are amazing!! I purchased my first set in 2011 for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding reception and they were such a hit!! Many people not associated with the wedding kept coming in and asking "How did you do this" or where can I get some. I had never seen them before or since in my area. I have since reused them again for 2 more weddings, 2 bachelor dinners, a shower and even put them in large candy jars for my Christmas decorations one year. I am back again today looking for a couple of different pear colors. The product is awesome and the gel beads last a very long time if you keep them hydrated and in a cool place like a basement. The gel beads from Vase Perfection hydrate into larger gel beads than most which I like as they fill the cylinders faster. You will love the product and Mya from VP was the best to work with; she was very patient and help me figure just how many gel and pearl beads I needed for our big wedding.

love this product!! worked perfectly my beads floated exactly like the pictures show! will defiantly order more!

You can buy the same product at Michael's for much more quantity at the same price.

These are the exact same ones I can buy from the dollar store for $1.00. Nothing special about them.
