Hi Kathie,
Thanks for reaching out. In almost every blog post with a freebie, there should be a blue box that says &quot;Download Here.&quot; There are a couple of our old posts that actually have the link in the text. However, either way, after you click the blue &quot;Download Here&quot; button, and box should pop up asking for your name and email. After entering your name and email, it should take you straight to the freebie. If it does not, you may need to adjust your pop-up settings. Please check out our troubleshooting video &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/frequently-asked-questions/&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; for help.  You can email me at hello@www.playdoughtoplato.com if you need further assistance.
Warmly,

Unfortunately, we&#039;ve only had success using Mrs. Stewarts Bluing. It&#039;s tough to find here too. However, you can order it from Amazon &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Mrs-Stewarts-Concentrated-Liquid-Bluing/dp/B009M7ESPA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1449113838&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=mrs.+stewarts+bluing&#038;linkCode=sl1&#038;tag=playtoplat-20&#038;linkId=5fafb5cf5ffa85465b6120938c5e3ad2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. Let me know if I can be of any further help!

It wouldn&#039;t have an adverse reaction but it doesn&#039;t distribute evenly if you put the dye in the mixture.  I hope this helps!]]></description>

Hello Amal, 
Great question. You can use any brand of liquid fabric bluing agent, we just recommend Mrs. Stewart&#039;s Bluing. 
Hope this helps!

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/growing-crystal-tree/#comment-166891&quot;&gt;Jen&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Jen, 
Thanks for your question. If you want your tree to last weeks then I would use the back of a pad of paper like a legal pad. The thick cardboard holds up to being wet. If you want a quick demo that will last several days use the corrugated cardboard. The solution moved up the corrugated cardboard quicker and grew bigger crystals, but it eventually became soggy and flopped over. I hope this helps!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Which cardboard worked better?  Thanks for clarifying.

&quot;Although the corrugated cardboard grew crystals better, it became floppy so the corrugated cardboard ultimately performed better.&quot;]]></description>
