How many water beads do I need?

Subwayloves

Anyone used water beads before and have an idea of how many to order? I am doing 25 centerpieces with approximately 8 oz of water beads each in them. Looking at ordering in bulk, there are half pound, one pound, etc. bags anyone have an idea of how many I'd need??

Never used them but a quick check tells me a pound makes about 6 gallons of beads. 25x8oz=200oz As a gallon is 128oz, it sounds like half a pound will be more than enough for your needs.

And they say you don't use math in the real world.
