Let the crystals sit and hydrate 4-6 hours. For faster results, use hot water. Drain any excess water. (ASSORTED COLORS CAN BE CHOSEN FROM THE COOL DROP DOWN BOXES ABOVE.). OF COURSE YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO TRY THE ORIGINAL CRYSTAL ACCENT “CRACKED ICE”, WHICH ARE SHAPED LIKE CHUNKS OF BROKEN CRYSTALS & THEY LITTERALLY ACCENT THE DECO BEADS WONDERFULLY!
