I have some cupped over some LED amber lights on my mantel and they look really good. (Lights do not get hot). Hope to do a Fall Mantel post soon. The last ones I did was with bleach/wash like for stain spots. Mr. Z. bought it by mistake. I think it has soap or softener in it. They were soft when taken out of the water, but after rinsing, they dried, like dry ... but not real brittle. I just toss them in plastic bags, careful not to mash and I don’t think any have broken. <br />Thanks for the question.<br />Audrey Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517124107548276200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207039877752828957.post-10620506943568723692013-10-09T17:29:29.516-05:002013-10-09T17:29:29.516-05:00Love the trough you made, but I will be honest and...Love the trough you made, but I will be honest and say I am stealing the wooden spoons as risers idea!
