- Once set, gently pop the jellies out of the molds and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
Notes
For variations, experiment with different essential oils, mix food colors for a tie-dye effect, and consider adding dried flowers or glitter. Popping candy can be added for an exciting fizz when they hit the water.
