(4 hours with hot tap water. 6 hours with cold tap water.) (Note: Hot water will help the water beads absorb water faster giving you less time to wait if you’re pressed for time). Once they’ve absorbed water to their full potential, use a kitchen colander to drain off water and rinse. Build your arrangements using house plants, curly twigs, flowers, candles and anything that you can think of to enhance your arrangements and enjoy!

Direct sunlight will shorten the life of water beads and may discolor them and smell). If you wish to feed plants, dissolve feed in water prior to soaking water beads.
