Make a Borax Crystal Snowflake

The Borax Crystal Snowflake can be used as a winter decoration.

Steps

  1. Cut the pipe cleaner into 3 equal sections
  2. 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.
  3. Tie a string to the snowflake and the pencil. ( The snowflake will be hanging down from the pencil)
  4. Add boiling water to a jar big enough that when you insert the snowflake it will not touch the jar's sides.
  5. Add tablespoons of Borax soap to the boiled water. (3 spoons = 1 cup of water)
  6. Insert the pipe cleaner snowflake in the jar.
  7. Let the snowflake sit overnight and by morning it will be a crystal snowflake.
