Borax Cystal Snow Flakes


Here is the how to:

Materials

Boiling hot water - enough to fill your pint sized mason jar
1/3 cup borax - you can find this in the laundry aisle.

pint mason jar
pencil
pipe cleaners
string/yarn

Directions

1. Form your pipe cleaners into a snowflake shape or whatever shape you desire, while you boil water.
2. Add water to your mason jars.
3. Mix in borax. Stir it but don't worry if it isn't completely dissolved.
4. Attach your pipe cleaner shape to the string and hang it from the pen/pencil while submerging it in your jar.
5. Leave it overnight. The next morning you should have a nice pretty crystal snowflakes!
