Borax Snowflakes
Directions:
- Cut a pipe cleaner into three equal sections. Fold the pipe cleaners together in the middle to form a six sided snowflake. Tie a string to oneof the arms of your snowflake. Attach the other side of the string to a pencil. You want the string to be long enough to hang your snowflake in a wide mouth jar. Fill the empty jar with boiling water. Stir in one tablespoon of borax to the water at a time and stir until it is disolved. You will add three tablespoons of borax for every cup of boiling water 9it is okay if some settles to the bottom of the jar.) You may add a tint to the water if you want. Next hang the snowflake in the jar, by placing the pencil across the rim of the jar. Make sure the snowflake does not touch the bottom or sides of the jar. Leave the jar untouched overnight. The next day you will have a beautiful crystal snowflake to hang in your classroom window. Remember to use 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster, not Boraxo soap.
