3 tablespoons Borax Wear protective gloves while handling.

1 piece clear blue pipe cleaner

Instructions

Creating the Suncatcher

Bend the pipe cleaners into the shape of a unicorn's head with a vibrant rainbow mane.
With adult supervision, dissolve the Borax in hot water by carefully stirring until fully dissolved.
Suspend the unicorn shape in the Borax solution using a craft stick, ensuring it doesn’t touch the bottom.
Leave the unicorn suspended in the solution for several hours to allow the crystals to form.
Once dry, carefully remove your suncatcher from the solution and hang it in a sunny spot.
