Happy Monday everyone! Well today is actually Sunday but seeing as I start my new job monday Im pretty sure Im not going to be able to write a post tomorrow so Im scheduling this one yay!
You may remember (ok probably not) one of my earlier posts about a floral arrangement (see that
here). In that I showed you what I THOUGHT was a great product...the water beads that expand to be like the glass beads for floral arrangements but were much cheaper. So this is what it looked like to start with. So pretty and big and shiny!
Well after 3 months they have wilted to pathetic-ness.
PATHETIC! The package did say you COULD add water periodically but sheesh I didnt think it would wilt to this my goodness! So I have decided to go back to the tride and true glass beads (with a 40% off coupon in hand of course) and make this floral arrangement beautiful once more! So a cautionary tale to all of your, water beads for floral arrangements that you want to keep out all the time, no good. They are probably a good idea for weddings though since they stay pretty and glossy for about 1 month.
Have you had any products that you thought were awesome to only turn out terrible?
Project Housewife Out!
Oh no! I know the feeling entirely, for me it was a draped red fabric shower curtain that ate up three weeks of my life. Thanks for the kind comment on my blog. I'm your newest follower! If you get a chance I'd love it if you could follow me back. Happy crafting!
