I do a lot of Chritmas crafting (this year to make money for the wedding). I've coem across a wonderful little decorations that is easy to make and it looks super cute!!!!
This is what you'll need:
pipe cleaners
Borax (found in the cleaning sections of most stores)
Boiling water
a long stick that fits over a pot's length
string
pliers (if you want)
- For every 1 cup of water add 3 Tablespoons of borax.
- Shape pipe cleaners into shapes (ie, hearts, starts etc) Don't make them too detailed as the borax will grow!
- Attach string to pipe cleaners to hang into solution.
- Boil water and Add borax
- Dangle pipe cleaners into the solution and let sit in solution for atleast 8 hours.
They almost look like rock candy when they are finished, and very cool!
I've altered this a little and added red food colouring to the solution and shaped the pipecleaners into hearts for something different.
This isn't something that you only have to use for winter weddings, they are very pretty and look fabulous around light.
When I get them all finished I'll post some pictures. Have fun!
