Learn the key to making huge gorgeous borax crystals out of a supersaturated solution on this Emmymade How-to. Borax crystals 1- 2 C. borax ~1 L. water bamboo skewer thread white pipe cleaners food coloring Weave three (3) pipe cleaners into a loose coil. Suspend the coil from a length of thread, and then attach it to the bamboo skewer 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 heat-proof beaker. Heat your water and add borax a little at a time. 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 (20-30 drops.) Suspend your pipe cleaner in the hot solution and cover with a piece of cardboard.
