In this vidoe I show you a cool way to make some Crystals at home with really inexpensive and not complex items that you probably have at home:)
Learn the key to making huge gorgeous borax crystals out of a supersaturated solution on this Arshi's Howto.
Ingredients Needed:
Borax crystals
1 2 C. borax
~1 L. water
bamboo skewer
Thread
Craft Tinsels(found at Dollarama or Dollar Tree)
Alcohol Ink or Food Color
Weave three (3) tinsels into a loose coil. Suspend the coil from a length of thread, and then attach it to a straw or wooden stick so that the coils hangs in the middle of the container without touching the sides or the bottom. Make your solution in a pot or heatproof beaker. Add Borax, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Stir constantly and keep adding borax until it no longer dissolves. The solution will be cloudy and some borax will settle. Add your food coloring (2030 drops.) Suspend your pipe cleaner in the hot solution and cover with a piece of cardboard. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 812 hours. Pull out your crystal and dry with a paper towel.
