Borax Crystals:

1. Make a shape with a pipe-cleaner, making sure it can fit in the jar.
2. Fill jar 3/4 full with boiling water.
3. Slowly add 4 Tbsp of borax, stirring after each tablespoon. (Add borax until you see it a small amount collecting on the bottom of the jar)
4. Tie a piece of string to the pipe-cleaner and hang it from a pencil in the jar. Make sure it is completely submerged.
5. set the jar in a place where it will not be disturbed, such as a window sill, and let it stand for 24 hours. Check progress periodically to see how the crystals are forming.
6. When it is done, you can hang the crystal in the window and watch it sparkle!
