Gasp!! Flower soft....

I went to Archiver's to get some for the "January white sale" challenge. The women that work there are always very helpful, and one of them directed me toward the flower soft when I inquired about it.

Oh so many pretty colors!!! When I looked at the bottom of the 30ml jar and saw the price I gasped and said really?!!! $6.99!!! Sure they say a little goes a long way, but I just can't see paying that much!!!

Off to get some Styrofoam balls!! http://hogwildaboutstamping.blogspot.com/2009/10/make-your-own-flower-soft.html

Sonya, I make my own from styrofoam balls, I just won't pay that much. So easy to make.

I know right?!! I just got back from shopping, I'm ready to try this!! Way cheaper!

Have fun Sonya

That is such a great idea Sonya!! I would never have thought to use a styrofoam ball!!!

Helen, it works so great and you can color it any color that you want. I keep mine in baggies with different colors. The kids love doing it as well, Tyler just loved making the stuff.

I just got rid of a bottle this weekend. I've had it here forever. Tried to use it and I just couldn't get it to look the way I wanted, so out it went.

Have never tried that. WTG ST on making ur own!!

First I have heard of it, probably would never use the stuff.

Jackie, I will tell you it does make a little mess but still fun to use.

Oh ya, I don't color some and use it for snow.

Oh that's a great idea... sometimes I wonder why those little bottles of stuff are so expensive... I guess they figure we'll get sucked in to anything new!

Wowsa ... great find Sonja - thank you so much for sharing it! I also had a bottle of it around for ages ... and it is difficult to work with when trying to do detailed work, but I can't wait to try it for snow!

this is cool.
