Default Flower Soft: Does it really GROW?

Ladies when you opened your Flowersoft...does it really GROW? I could not believe when I opened the jar. I am going to go get some more of this stuff...how can you use it up? Thanks for the assist with this stuff...OH..How do you store it since you cant use the original jar? Any assist will be appreicated...I think for now a ziploc will have to do.
blessings.

I use tuppeware bowls with lids large enough to spinkle and shake off the flower soft. That way none is wasted.
go to their web: http://www.flower-soft.com/ and you will find some neat ideas. Have fun!

yes it grows!
it is packed hard-jammed in the jar.
you do need to move it into a much larger bowl.

I was not aware that would happen when I opened it...and it was like the jar was spewing flower soft at me...What a hoot....

I'm so glad I saw this! I just got my 1st jar and probably would have made a mess opening it if I hadn't read this! TFS

Hmm. I must have gotten dead jars. I bought three different jars of the stuff and none of them grew or spewed out at me. I still have mine in the original jars. I do love the stuff. I need to start using it more. :o)

It does grow, and works better when you put it in a larger container and fluff it up a bit.

Our product review girls played with Flower Soft recently - check it out their reviews (and some tutorials, too!) here:

I gave my mom a snack sized baggie full of each color and my jars are still pretty full. LOL~

How can this be??? Must be magic!

I love this stuff. I put mine in a ziploc bag and the really cool thing is that I can reuse the flower soft containers for other things as well. I just took the insert on the inside of the lid out and it becomes a clear container.

I put mine in small plastic containers -- not sure if they're Glad or Ziplock. They're about the size of the cups I used to make pudding in (when I used to cook -- LOL!). They're big enough for the Flower Soft to "grow" but not so big that they take up a whole lot of room on the shelf.

Same here. I just screwed the lids right back on the original jars after using some. I did get it several months ago and only now got around to using it so maybe it stays more compacted if it's in the jar longer.
