This is also something you can play around with as you make them. It will look really dark in the water, but the crystal will be much lighter (trust me). Add the food colouring, I used 10 drops of pink and 2 drops of purple. It’s really important to have a really well condensed mixture. Once the water is boiling, add 2 cups or more of Borax, this is the key step, keep adding in borax until it no longer dissolves in the water, I kind of lost track of the actual amount, you can’t go wrong, just use lots! The more the better and bigger your crystals will be. Take a pencil or chopstick and hang your web from it.īoil about about 1 litre of water in a medium sauce pan.
Take a piece of white string and tie it to one end of your web structure. Take your white pipe cleaners and weave them together to make a random somewhat round shape, this will be the skeleton for your crystals to grow on. So I recommend visiting those links for another perspective and more detailed instructions.īorax – you can find this in the detergent aisle at your grocery store, it’s likely on the bottom shelf I initially found this project through fellow Canadian blogger Dans Le Lakehouse when she made beautiful turquoise crystals last year and while searching for more tutorials I found a youtube video from Emmy Made that walks you through the steps. This project takes about 20 minutes to make and another 6-10 hours of waiting time. I really didn’t want to pay lots of money for real Rose Quartz from the rock and gem store and I really didn’t like the look of the fake ones from the big box home decor stores because they were usually over saturated with neon pink dye or just weren’t the right colour. The idea came from the need for Rose Quartz for a work project relating to Pantone Colour of the year Rose Quartz. I made Rose Quartz crystals and I still can’t believe it! This DIY project is easier than it looks.
