Place in water until the crystals are plump. The scarf pictured below was soaked for about 10 minutes.
NOTE: Test the amount of crystals you are using and use quality thread! The first time I made a large number of these, I set all the scarves in a bath tub filled with water while we did other things to get ready for the parade ... and a few of them popped their side seam, leaving me with a gel mess to rinse off the other scarves!
