Prepare for Halloween with APC’s Spooktacular Fun DIY Crystals Experiment!

You Will Need:

Step 1

Start by using the different colour pipe cleaners to create the shapes of a Pumpkin and a Spider.

Step 2

Once you have made the creation, tie a piece of string around each one and tie the other end to a long stick.

Step 3

Start by heating water. For every cup of water add 3 tablespoons of Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) 5% Solution.

Top Tip: make sure the container is deep enough to stop your creation from touching the sides or bottom.

Step 4

Stir the solution until the Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) 5% Solution has dissolved. As long as most of it has dissolved it does not matter if part has settled at the bottom of the container.

Step 5

Carefully place the stick over the middle of the container allowing the creations to be submerged in the solution. Leave for 24 hours.

Step 6

After 24 hours, remove the creations from the Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) 5% Solution and allow them to dry on a cloth.

Step 7

Once dry, your creations are all done! They make great decorations for Halloween!
