Borax Crystals

This was a COOL experiment/craft.

Here is what you will need.....

Borax Laundry Booster

boiling water

jars or glasses

pencils

pipecleaners

Create a shape out of your pipecleaners and attach it to the pencil {either with the pipecleaner or some yarn/string}

Boil water and dissolve Borax into the water - I used about 4-5 tablespoons of Borax per glass.

Put your pipecleaner shape into the glass being sure that it does not touch the sides of the glass.

Note - while Borax is a natural product it should not be consumed or inhaled so be careful and follow the precautions on the box.

Here is our snowflake before adding water to show how it will hang in the glass without touching the walls of the glass.

Here it is after a few hours with crystals starting to form.

Here are the final products after sitting in the solution for 24 hours.

So pretty....

.....and so easy!
