Thread: I need a nonperishable gel for eyeballs

Tweet

So I bought ping pong balls and using the tutorial I found here, made a bunch of eyeballs. But they look kinda blah piled up in a dry mason jar. They need some liquid. But between kids and cats everything ends up on the floor so I was thinking a gel, like unflavored gelatin, but not anything that may grow fuzz.
Got any ideas?

Maybe try clear bathtub silicon caulk? I've never tried it, but it dries clear and is non-perishable.

How about the clear dishwashing soap? It's antibacterial and washes up with water. You could also pour it back in the bottle and use it after Halloween is over.

they have clear silicone caulk for sealing windows as well that dries clear

And in case you were wondering clear hair gel is a bad idea. Year one...great, year two very cloudy, year three?.....(I'm afraid to look)

^^^^^^^^^Hahahahahahahaha^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Go to the floral section and buy water crystals (you want the round shape). Put them in water and in an hour or so you will have 100's of 1/2" size eyeballs! They are clear and used for floral arrangements and will last for a long time. You can even soak them in dyed water to make different colors. NOTE: DO NOT flush them as they will eventually dry out and then swell again if you need them next year! Or throw them out in your flower beds or stir them into your potted plants and they will water your flowers as needed
