Crystal Borax Hearts Valentine’s Day Craft Directions –

  1. Before you begin, fill a pot with water and begin boiling it.
  2. While the water is boiling begin shaping your pipe cleaners into heart shapes. Remember your shapes must fit into your jar without touching the sides.
  3. Once your water has been boiling for a few minutes pour it into your jars and add your Borax. (About 3 tablespoons per 1 cup). Be sure to stir until completely dissolved.
  4. Attach each heart shape to a Popsicle stick using your yarn or string.
  5. Submerge your hearts into your jar of boiling water and allow the Popsicle stick to rest along your jar lid.
  6. Allow your hearts to set overnight.
  7. The next morning you will be able to see your hearts have become crystalized. Remove them from the water and allow them to dry out.
  8. Once your hearts are dry, replace their string and add a fun ribbon!
