Just loved this tutorial. I will definitely try this. Thank you for being so thorough. Glad I came across your video.
SO glad it was helpful! Did you know that we are collecting these for unsheltered people in multiple communities at Crafting Change right now? Check out our website for details on how to help!
Excellent.
Thank you so much! Great tutorial. I plan to make some of these to use during my job delivering mail by bicycle and on foot the coming summer.
I have some questions though:
- Will sweat make the beads smell bad in the long run?
- Can the beads be cleaned / rinsed?
- Will this keep cool for a few hours or is the cooling property gone once your body heat has warmed up the beads?
All the best to you from the Netherlands! 💐
Thank you for a super tutorial. Could you please let is know if these can be washed?
You are so good at these! I’m making some skull caps for friends and am going to try this technique on the lower band that goes around the bottom of the cap.
I have made these with the Miracle Grow Water absorbing crystals, also sold at Walmart. My friend wondered if I could make a dog bandana/scarf with some cooling crystals. Have you ever done this?
We have not made them for pups with these, you might want to contact an animal rescue group to see their thoughts on that! Might be a great idea.
@@CraftingChange some indicate they are non toxic so I think other brands may not say on the label. Whether for humans or pets I would choose one of the brands who state it to be safe
@@jcrefasi1 agreed! We want humans and pets alike to be safe! And since your original question, we have now had several of these cooling scarves be used for our personal pets and they love them!
Excellent tutorial thank you so much
For sharing. I'm in Canada I sure hope I can get those beads?
They are fairly readily available, crossing our fingers for you!

another question, does it matter what type of fabric we use?
@@sheilaegeland a high quality quilting cotton is best. You can find our pattern on our website www.craftingchange.org
You used 1/4 tsp and the label says they expand 6x their original size. So logically it seems you would have 1 1/2 tsp when they're hydrated. Just wondering why the pockets look like they are holding more than 1.5tsp? Math isnt my strong suit so I will use the 1/4tsp😊
When they are dry and flat it will look like they are practically empty. However, when they expand, they are nice and full. However, every brand of these beads will expand differently. We suggest hydrating some and counting them out and adding them to your pocket expanded and seeing for the brand you have purchased how many it takes to fill it up. Then measure out how many that will be. For the brands we used it was 1/4 tsp of dry. Great question!
@@CraftingChange thanks so much for that info!
I will definitely do a test. I want them full but just not seam splitting" full 😂
