What are Water Beads?
Water beads are a wonderful, new product made up of a special water-absorbing polymer used by florists, decorators, and hundreds of other creative designers. These marble-sized beads start off as light-weight, dry grains. Then, add water and watch the magic happen. The household-safe polymers absorb thousands of times their weight in water and turn into a perfect marble-sized bead perfect for your home-design project. They can be bought online or in larger craft stores. I normally buy my direct from Amazon.com
