Frequently asked questions
What exactly are Aquabeads?
Aquabeads are tiny, colorful beads that magically stick together when you spray them with water! They’re like building blocks, but instead of snapping them, you use water to make them fuse into one solid design. No heat, no glue, just water!
How do you use Aquabeads? Is it complicated?
It’s super easy!
- Place: Use a special tray (called a layout tray) to arrange your beads into a design. You can follow templates or make up your own!
- Spray: Once your design is perfect, lightly spray it evenly with water using the special sprayer bottle.
- Wait: Let your creation dry for at least an hour (or longer for bigger designs).
- Peel & Play! Gently peel your finished design off the tray, and voilà! You have a brand new, solid bead creation.
What kinds of things can I make with Aquabeads?
Anything you can imagine! People make cute animals, yummy-looking food, cool characters, sparkly jewels, keychains, decorations – the possibilities are endless. If you can bead it, you can create it!

How long does it take for a design to dry completely?
