to your nearest Michaels.
On a shopping excursion to M’s, I was browsing the dollar spot, and-right next to it, found these babies!
Look familiar?
Well, if you are saying DUH! Its says right on the package Decorative Accents-that obviously go in your candle holder/vase’s then you are SO WRONG!
These are JUST like the Robin’s Nest Dew Drops! I mean EXACTLY! same size and everything. Only for an entire bag of these you will only pay $3.99!!
I was tipped off to these during my blog browsing (which is not very often :C), so if you know who originally made this find-post it here!
I had to see for myself. YUP! They are exactly the same.
You see I got the pink/purple variety, green variety, and clear-so I can use my Copic marker’s to color them whatever color I want 😀 They also had a blue variety. No need for that.
Now the bag was rather big, and was NOT with the plant/vase stuff. It was near where you buy decorative home greenery, on an end cap!
So I wondered HOW I could store these.
As you can see in the above photo, I used a old SU! plastic stamp case. I didn’t want to mix them up, so I did this
I simply measured my case size. Then cut cardstock a bit longer (about 4 inches longer) in length. Scored it, with my Scor-Pal, to make divider’s that fit it inside!
The dividers are scored at (for example) 2-3-4 then again at 6-7-8. This gives you the mountain you need to support the weight of the beads, and keep them separate! Your measurements will vary depending on case size and how many packages of bead thingy’s you purchase.
Just put a bit on adhesive on the bottom of the divider before you place it in. Add beads-DONE!
Cool huh?
I have an INSANELY busy day today, so hope to post some eye candy later.
I have alot to share this week, so stay tuned 😀
INCLUDING a cool product I NEVER heard of before. You are going to want to see it.
HINT-its shines, and changes color.
Now I know you want to know what it is 😀
Till then.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this!
I got some of those the other day! 😀 They color well with the Copic markers AND I took a hole punch and punched some decorative paper and then glued it on the back of the little clear dew drop (kinda like those flat backed glass marble magnets everyone made a while back) and they match perfectly now! Happy to share!
Lauren – I always love reading your blog. The ideas and finds and your talent always bring me back. Thanks for sharing!!!
What a great find. We don’t have a M’s near here but as luck would have it – I’m traveling for work today and I will pass (well I’ll be stopping at one of them now 🙂 ) two M’s on my drive home!
You are awesome Lauren. Can’t wait to see what you’re playing with today!

OH ya…go posting something like this when you know I have pneumonia and shouldn’t leave the house….key word….shouldn’t….rofl….I’m leaving 😉 Will definitely go and check this out today…haha! Thanks for the heads up girl!
Those are fantastic!!
Thanks for the information, will hit it tonight.
I love starting my day by reading your blog. I always learn something new and you enable me to add to my collection of materials! Fantasy film – WOW. Did that come from Michaels? I have to google it and find a source right now.
Thanks for sharing your time and TALENT.

Hi there, Never heard of the dew drops before – yes I’m sheltered. I hope you make a card soon showing how to use this product. Thanks Cheryl
Hi Lauren,
I don’t know whose blog you read, but I think I might be the one who found them first. I posted my little find on SCS in the product forum. One of the gals that responded asking for comparison pictures mentioned that she was going to post it on her blog. I think it was Kim at ImpressYourself. Here is the post on SCS: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=312919&highlight=Bella+Baubles. As much as I love supporting these amazing sites like Stamping Bella and Ellen Hutson, I still can’t resist a good value, and THIS is a good value. Have you tried to color the clear ones with your Copics? IMHO, the possibilities are ENDLESS! Now I know the love will be spread through your post on your blog – GOOD FOR YOU!! Have a great day, and thanks for sharing your amazing talent with me every day!

Very cool! I was just in Michaels yesterday and picked up some blingy thingys from the $1.00 section.
Oh, what wonderful tips! Thanks for posting these!
You are so clever! I love reading your blog; so many fresh and fun ideas. ( You even prompted me to buy Spotz!!!) Thanks for this info on the “drops”. What is the best way to glue/secure them?
great idea for the divider!
doh! I went to Target YESTREDAY, Guess I need to go back!!
great idea for the divider!
doh! I went to Michael’s YESTERDAY, guess I need to go back!!
Yay – I found them at one of the M’s I stopped at during my travel today! I couldn’t find them in the store or remember the name so I pulled up your blog on my Blackberry and the clerk took me right to them! Gotta love modern technology!
Thanks again for the wonderful tip!
Teresa
Thanks so much for sharing this, I’ll have to check it out!
OK….so you MADE me leave the house….rofl….but guess what??? They are 6.99 here in Canada….lol….so I’ll wait til next month and get some in Florida…I always spend my 750 bucks(allowed amount to bring back) on craft stuff….haha!
Oh my word, what a cool idea!
High-five! I found them at my Michael’s a week ago or so and have made a few trips back buying for my friends who can’t find them at their Michael’s. TFS! Becky
I just picked mine up today. I think it is very funny that Michael’s stores across US & Canada are set up the same way. I found them exactly where you said they would be and I am in Saskatchewan Canada. I have to make a few trips back to get the rest as they are $6.69 here. I am a very frugal person so I will only buy one at a time so I can use the 40% off coupon. Then they are only $4 and that is a great bargain! Thanks for sharing this. I was thinking of buying some of those dew drop things and am now very glad I didn’t.

I was at Micheal’s last week and pick up a package of these and thought these would be great for something and put them back. I was unaware of the dew drops till now. And boy could I kick myself as the nearest Micheals is 100 miles from my home. Man!
Thanks for sharing

OOOH I just saw your blog last night, so I ran to Michaels today. Just when I gave up hope of finding any… I found ONE lol They were on clearance for $2.OO!! I asked if they were getting more in and explained about them to the salesgirl. She says “OH, THATS why a woman came in a bought almost all of them”!! So I have been searching online for them, but havent found them. I actually emailed the company, and asked them where to buy them, explained to them about us cardmakers LOL and also told them they might think of repackaging them for papercrafters. So, will see if they answer me back. Thanks for telling us about them 🙂
I just stumbled on your blog last night as I was pricing those dew drop thingys & I am so grateful for your post & info. Who knew? Last time I visited my local scrapbook store they had a tiny bottle of this stuff for $5.99 (it wasn’t my color). Anyway, I took a spin to M’s today..walked thru the fake flower aisle & flower container isle & was just about to give up when I spyed them on an end cap..clearance $2.00 a bag. Great timing that I found your information before they sold out! So, thanks a zillion for sharing!!! All the best, Vina

Thanks for the idea. I don’t have Copic markers so I had to think about what I could use to change the color. I do have Adirondak Alcohol Inks and was so excited to see the results. I just put a couple of drops on a sponge and tapped it onto the droplet and Oh so beautiful. My son got excited about it too, so he sat down and made pearl, gold, silver, and multicolor ones!
Does anyone know if these are still available at M’s? I just discovered this blog and really want/need to get these!
Thanks for the tip.
Hugs,
Suz
I bought these on clearence last year. I got then for $1 or $2. It was great. I got 2 bags of clear, blue, burgundy/pink. I didn’t get the yellow or the green. I just couldn’t see myself using them all.
I found bags 12 oz bags of clear today at M’s for 5.99 plus my 40% off. I was very excited to find them. I colored mine with alcohol reinkers- a drop or two in a small zip plastic bag plus a small amount of beads and shooked the bag until all were colored. Then remove and let air dry.
