Mini Sugar Starfish

[MaryS]

Has anyone ever ordered these? There are some I found on Oriental Trading and it comes with 500 starfish. How big are these things? And if you did order them did you use them all?

hmmm I have no idea but hopefully someone on the forum will

They are not that big- I was surprised. I ordered 2 more because I am putting them on tables. The size is of a nickel

They sound adorable...are they for coffee and tea, like real sugar?

 

OKay, received my answer from DougsGirl comment below...I wasnt sure, sorry

wow i knew they were tiny, but that's good to know. maybe i'll get 2 or 3 bags instead of 1.

what about the little white sand dollars? has anyone ordered those? i'm figuring they're about the size of a quarter?

We ordered them for my daughter's weddng, and yes, they are very tiny and thin. We've decided to use them like confetti on the tables. Even though there are 500, they won't go very far as they are so small. They are not edible, that is just their name.

I was going to use them to dangle from my raffia fans do you thing they would be to small??

The sand dollars are just a little bigger than the size of a quarter

 

I got the 30 starfish assortment (5$), and there were some decent sized ones. They varied from the size of a quarter to like 4 or 5 inches across

 

Natural Starfish Assortment

 

I wouldn't call them sugar starfish. Sugar starfish are thicker and more sturdy (at least from what I know). I don't know what these ones are called. Here's an example of the difference

 

Sugar starfish (from Michaels)

Starfish from OTC (one of the biggest in the assortment package )

not sure about the sand dollars but I was going to use them for seat assignments but if they are that small maybe not.

I ordered 200 of the 3/4"-1" version from Ebay and they are small and thin. I was going to get them from OT but I didn't need that many. I was going to return them and get the next size up, but I will just keep them and use them for something.

 

Here is the link for the seller on Ebay:

 

eBay Store - Wagners Southern Store: SPECIALS, STARFISH, SEASHELLS

 

They also have sand dollars and other larger starfish varieties.
