You can easily make these icy-blue crystals - and have snowflakes year-round! You can make borax crystals in the shape of snowflakes or as ordinary crystals. See "Grow Sugar Crystals," under Related eHows, for instructions.

on 10/15/2008 How much Borax do you use, and when will the "growing" period end? Also, you may want to add Borax in your list of items needed.

on 2/2/2006 It will make the removal of your snowflake much less stressful if you use a slightly flexible plastic container with a large opening. The flexibility will help you to pop the flake off the side of the container if it happens to get stuck there while growing. Peanut butter jars work well for this.

on 12/9/2005 Don't get the bottom of the snowflake stuck to the bottom of the cup. It is hard to get the snowflake out of the cup without breaking off crystals.
