We made these around Christmas time but they are a great January craft as well. Simply form a pipe cleaner into a snowflake [or whatever shape you want, my son made a snowman), boil water and pour into wide mouth jars. Dissolve 1/3 c. of borax into water. Hang pipe cleaner with string from a stick laid across the jar. It should take about one day for the crystals to completely form.
These are so pretty and way easy. You could even make hearts for Valentine's Day which is just around the corner. As for the borax, I found it at Walmart on the bottom shelf. A box was going for just over $3. It is a great stain remover and I keep finding new uses for it...like this craft and slime goop that my friend Jes has the recipe on her blog
Koop's Kitchen.
Have fun!
