Make a Borax Crystal Snowflake
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.
