Make a fabric tube, insert dry beads, close off tube, add fabric or ribbon to both ends, soak in cold water until beads have fully expanded, tie around your neck and go play in the garden.

Insert one in the other, add the marbles, then add a tea-light candle in the center vase. I think it would be very pretty.

I was able to add red food coloring and they did change color. They accent the glass container so well. I bought these to use in shallow heart-shaped bowls as centerpieces for my wedding.

One of the cool things is to put at least 2 layers high in a clear bottom bowl. Place the bowl on top of a secret message. At first with just the marbles the message under the bowl can not be read, but once water is added, it's completely clear! I am using them in my class for science and experimenting or just playing.

It works best to mix it with the soil before adding plants, but if you already have plants, then poke holes in the soil around the plants and add the already hydrated marbles, don't add too many per hole or next time you water or it rains, they will puff up and out of the holes (ask me how I know). LOL You might want to consider hydrating them and putting them in a food processor to chop them up a bit first, but you probably don't have to if you don't want to.
