Crystals __top__: Making

Tie your string to the pencil. If you’re using a pipe cleaner, twist it into a small star or heart shape (this gives the crystals more surface area to grab onto). Dangle the string/pipe cleaner into the jar so it hangs in the middle, not touching the sides or bottom.

Happy growing!

Place the jar somewhere safe and undisturbed. Check it after 6 hours—you’ll likely see tiny specks forming. After 24 hours, you’ll have a layer of sparkle. For bigger, bolder crystals, wait 48 hours.
