Supplies:

Beaker or a wide-mouth jar
String
Colorful pipe cleaners
Pencil
Boiling water
Borax (20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster)


-------------------------------------------------

(1)
Cut and bend pipe cleaners into desired shape. It should easily fit into the jar you have with at least 1/2 inch of space all around. Pipe cleaners form a base for the crystals to grow on.


(2)
Now, attach string to the top of one of the pipe cleaners and tie the other end to a pencil (this is to hang it from). Remember that the crystals will also form on the string, so place it somewhere that it will still look nice....
