Materials 

Instructions 

  • First, get your water beads. Take a handful of them and put them in your bowl.
  • Next, add some water. You should have enough water to completely cover the balls.
  • The next step is the waiting step. The amount of time that you soak your beads will depend on how big you want them to be.
    I soaked mine for six hours according to the instructions on the package, but the beads turned out a little bit too large.
    I recommend creating smaller beads by soaking them for about 1-2 hours in total.
  • Now, put your beads into your plastic bottle.
  • Next, get your balloon. Stretch it over the top of your plastic bottle.
  • Now, turn your bottle over so that the beads are falling into the balloon.
  • You might have to squeeze the bottle a little bit to help them move into the balloon.
  • Once the beads are inside the balloon, tie the balloon up to keep the beads in!
  • Your cute and colorful stress ball is complete. Enjoy!
