( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vannas-Awesome-Blog/744192178967984?ref=bookmarks try this link) I got an idea while on pinterest. When I was in public school, in gifted class we made Borax crystals. So I’m going to tell you how to make them.

What you’ll need:

–Borax laundry detergent booster
–water
–pipe cleaners
–string
–pencil or chopstick

You take the pipe cleaner and make it into a shape.You can do snowflakes if you want to use it on the Christmas tree.If you want to make long, straight icicles, that’s even easier. Just make sure you have a container tall (yogurt containers work.)  enough that will hold the pipe cleaners without them touching the bottom.Use string to tie your snowflakes onto a pencil or chopstick–anything long enough to span the container you’re using.Mix up a batch of Borax solution: 1/3 cup of Borax to 2 cups of boiling water. Stir the mixture until the Borax is dissolved, about 2 to 3 minutes.Submerge your pipe cleaner snowflakes in the Borax solution, making sure they don’t touch the sides or bottom of your container, or each other if you’re doing multiple snowflakes in one pot.Got to bed and when you wake up WALA! A beautiful borax thing. Then you can pull it out.
