The Borax Crystal Snowflake can be used as a winter decoration.
Steps
-
Cut the pipe cleaner into 3 equal sections
-
Twist the sections together at the center to make it a six-sided snowflake. You can also twist the pipe cleaner into any shape you want, the crystals will still grow on them.
-
Tie a string to the snowflake and the pencil. ( The snowflake will be hanging down from the pencil)
-
Add boiling water to a jar big enough that when you insert the snowflake it will not touch the jar's sides.
-
Add tablespoons of Borax soap to the boiled water. (3 spoons = 1 cup of water)
- Insert the pipe cleaner snowflake in the jar.
-
Let the snowflake sit overnight and by morning it will be a crystal snowflake.
