How to Make Borax Crystal Ornaments- with yoyomax12

[@SugarDemon1035]

I'm absolutely in love with the seashells. I'll bet a tree decorated with shells, starfish, and sand dollars would look fantastic!

[@CookingAndCrafting]

These are so gorgeous. I remember the first time you made these. The seashells are my favorite!

[@cindyrellascastle]

you are amazing!! when I watch you I feel like a kid all over again. I just love that stuff...Borax... a fantastic product but never knew we can do this with it!!!!

[@marlyncendejas6790]

Loved it! I'm looking for an easy experiment to do with my preschoolers and I think I just found it! Thanks!

[@duckyone20]

You Mrs are BRILLIANT!! LOVE this idea with the shells and other objects other then the pipe cleaner

[@AmberGraves80]

Woman, you must be psychic. My daughter brought one of these home from school and I'd asked her she made it because it was so pretty I wanted a few more. She said she couldn't remember. I went on KZbin to figure it out, and viola! Your new video was the first thing I saw. lol See how awesome you are? Thanks so much!

[@jaleesamoncur7829]

Loll, the wired about it is I thought this was edible sugar crystal. Then I saw the title!!! Love you yoyomax

[@justqqwartyz4966]

Catchiest and best sounding intro ever!!!

[@libertycorbett5952]

I made these in school before winter break!!!

[@gaximation5695]

Same

[@Stepney_Studios]

same here lol

[@Fantasvale]

OMG this is absolutely Genius!!! Thanks for sharing this idea! ^_^

[@HeartofTarts]

I did a similar craft project in school, but they are just too tempting to lick for me to do as an adult.

[@jessicafortier6708]

My teacher would love this! She likes tropical stuff(like sea shells) and sparkles! So If I put them together she will be amazed!!!

[@ruthkiley6292]

Hello! Can you tell me how long these crystals last? Are they permanent or do they fall apart in a little while? Thanx for sharing! 😉👍😊

[@user-ik7ro1ps9n]

So just paper, borax, water and some strings to make some crystals?

[@kab4292]

This happens way faster that I thought it would. This will be a great craft for the kids...and me :)

[@JaylynnBryantjayjayjetplane]

I really liked that project we are doing them in my Science class and we just can't wait the shell turned out awesome! Love it!

[@kel7183]

how did they turn out?

[@JaylynnBryantjayjayjetplane]

really good they were really crystally

[@debbiemcreavy6383]

same

[@pokemonffta2]

Max: Mommy, where's my iPod? Tammy:I was looking around the house for things to cover in Borax. IT'S SO SPARKLY NOW! Max: ... Yes, it is...

[@yoyomax12]

lol!

[@aubt3798]

lol

[@danklyf4202]

LMAO!! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎😲

[@tomboyz151]

the sea shells are a really cool idea for someone celebrating Christmas in a warmer climate! =]

[@XLukiraX]

Do they crumble a lot or is Borax toxic? I only know you can kill a Leviathan with it xP But I don't think I can buy it here in Germany.. :/

[@SundaysChild1966]

Just wondering ... does it help you at all if I watch the ad all the way through? :-) Love the Christmas ornament ideas you have shared with us. Keep up the awesome work.

[@p.s.m.us.2691]

How did u make a hole in the shell last time I tried to the shell just broke apart !

[@Ultimatecruegirl]

Tammy these were beautiful. Nice job. Wondering if you could spray them with acrylic sealer to give them a bit more stability, hmmm might have to give it a go and see if it makes the crystals dissolve or not. Thanks for sharing another amazing idea.

[@AptalKaz]

Let us know how you go please! I'm curious as well :)

[@yoyomax12]

Hmmm.... not sure if it would dissolve them or not, if you try let me know and I 'll add the information in the description

[@315clau]

Hi, I want to make this project, and my question is. If I have to use or is essential to use glass dishes or I can use plastic or any other? I hope to have an answer, thanks.

[@jmiracle23]

hi im jeannette let me say i love your channel, i have learn a lot with you, thanks keep them coming i love everything. i would like to ake if u can make a video of how to make marshmallow fondant and one of how to color your icing red of blank. i have been trying and they never come out really black or red. thanks a lot sharing your talent with us and god bless you always.

[@disaidra]

I wonder if there is anything else you could use to make a similar effect. I know you can use sugar to make edible crystals, but I wonder if table salt would work too.

[@yoyomax12]

Sugar works (I have a video on that) apparently epsom salts work too

[@talonx4213]

I do this after school thing called Loveworks on Mondays and Wednesdays and we did some group activities for a couple weeks leading up to some presentations and one group did this and ice been wanting to try it so bad! yours are pretty, cool, and very creative by the way

[@xawaomar100]

I remember doing that Borax "Bluber" back in highschool. I remember using wayyyy too much Borax and the Bluber turned out so stiff !! Haha! But who knew you can make crystals out of it !

[@craftinggal]

I just love these. I plan on making these for next year for sure. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Paigecameron32]

Do the crystals stay hard, or do the crystals melt a little bit? Are they breakable? I really want to do this! Thanks for the amazing Videos Yoyomax12!

[@LisaDuncanson]

Thanks! This is very helpful. I'm using it with kids, and turns out using the cookie cutters isn't really working, but going freestyle is. Thanks!

[@bellafroggy]

the candy cane and coffee filter is my favourites

[@momof2momof2]

Great idea using the cookie cutters ! Wonderful idea !

[@kaylagarcia3437]

this is so cool im doing this at school and i never knew what it looked like when it was finished so now i know it looks awesome

[@Kate33614]

Как красиво сделано))) очень мило! А что вы использовали? Соль или сахар или крахмал?

[@mistypanda1122]

They’re so beautiful!

[@Nightstroller34]

If you're concerned about the crystals being affected by moisture, etc. I recommend coating the finished product with clear nail polish.

[@jenl1541]

Would you be able to speay or coat with a varnish you think?.?

[@Nightstroller34]

@@jenl1541 Possibly...if you put a light coat. Let me know how it goes.

[@floobious80866]

Good looking decor to use, sparkle in the dark.

[@AussieAngeS]

They look absolutely fantastic!

[@malikabdullah9681]

hi can I use boric acid powder instead of borax powder plz reply

[@wildheart5]

I love these! I never knew Borax has so many other uses. 20 Mule Team reminds me of a TV show long ago, a western. Can't remember the name of the show Borax sponsored. Great idea!

[@StephsMusicChannel35]

This is really cool! I feel like it would make a really fun project for some of the older kids for Christmas.

[@juliakokomo]

I made these in science last week! Awesome idea!

[@b4by.katttt]

TY! :) making it for 2014 Xmas! TY sooooo much! It is gonna be so fun! I hav been subbed to you for I think about 2 years :)

[@traceygray4956]

Great video & BRILLIANT tutorials- THANKYOU!!

[@mythicalbread1272]

Great! Loved it! Ive always wanted to make a snowflake out of papprr

[@Windmagician124]

I remember doing this in elementary school!

[@dollihombs4497]

Pretty! A good idea for homemade ornaments this year! Do I have to use glass containers for the Borax?

[@yoyomax12]

I don't think you have to use glass, but glass is easier to clean and it doesn't absorb the chemicals like plastic might (you probably shouldn't use a plastic container for anything else after using it for this purpose).

[@dollihombs4497]

Ok…thank you!

[@springcity2008]

Just wondering can I do the experiment by using the plastic container?

[@marikastewart2730]

I love the paper snowflakes ❄️ They would be perfect to hang in my window!

[@MsDreamcakes]

Oh how fun Tammy! We will be trying these! We've made the flubber before and the slime stuff with corn starch. I love doing these kinds of stuff with my son...we're easily entertained! Thank you! =}

[@aleortiz5775]

WOW THESE ARE SO PRETTY

[@buglady58]

I love these! gonna have to get some Borax next time I'm at the store ;-)

[@luisantoniosblog.gonzalez9315]

Amazing i want to re- decorate my christmas tree with this technique, awsome, congratulations yoyo 🌹

[@Queenmoreta]

omg so many possibilties to crystalize!! so gonna try this!. thanks for sharing :)

[@davidadams2395]

Ours grew crystals, but the pipe cleaners had areas of heavy growth and areas where growth was light. I think the problem lay in using lukewarm water instead of boiling water.

[@arnoldmangantulao6482]

My daughters said that it was so amazing! It's just like it disappeared! Impressive!

[@lorelidesmarais5400]

how to you crystalize things that wont float such as, driftwood or pinecones? it is so much fun. im enjoying it completely.

[@yoyomax12]

You could weight them down by adding an "anchor" like tying a string to a large metal nut or bolt and then it would float up from the bottom.

[@JeffsGrl1]

What an awesome craft. Going to have to try this.

[@yoyomax12]

I recommend that people use safety glasses, thick rubber gloves and hazmat suits to make this craft. All article used to make this craft should be declared hazardous material and burned in an incinerator. This comment being posted because of safety concerns about this video. DO NOT TRY ANYTHING I HAVE POSTED IN THIS VIDEO OR YOU MIGHT DIE.

[@jmtz8352]

Can the solution be used twice? Like after you grow one object pour off the solution and reheat?

[@Nober25]

You have no idea how much I wish these were edible :P Like made of sugar crystals or something like that :)

[@HeyLookItsAmy]

Wow, these are adorable!

[@PRETTYxNxRECKLESS13]

The seashell is beautiful!

[@elainewhite9361]

These are so pretty,and the shell especially so.a great project to try thanks for sharing .

[@sibwib2]

You have such a cute KZbin channel, and you are a very talented lady! Thank you or your awesome projects!

[@Jennyunger79]

Great project Tammy.

[@samaria102393]

I hav done this before i love it! you can make decorations for anything!!!

[@atibonn2420]

I made this at the science festival! I was soooo happy 'cause I passed and got A+ !!! thankssss♥♥

[@ailse491]

Amazing thank you a fun craft with kids 👍👏

[@missashley327]

These are so pretty and so fun! I gotta try it!

[@libreentiempo5454]

Congratulations your shapes are amazing! thanks for sharing, from Mexico Cdmx

[@kathleenbarragan2003]

Can you add essential oil to it for it to snow pretty?

[@eunicerodelas3064]

Any substitute for borax? Coz we don't have any borax here in our country. :(

[@cristal5rose]

Gosh, they are beautiful. I have to try to do this right now *-*

[@GraceThao]

I made these in science class too!! It was so fun!! I made mine with my initial!

[@slgraves3]

the sea shells are gorgeous!! how did you put the hole in them?

[@yoyomax12]

I used the tip of a sharp knife. Probably not the best tool for that though :) If you had to do a lot of them, a drill with a fine tip would be the best I think.

[@austin021207]

Perfect project for tomorrow!! Thank you! Video was well done :)

[@jmtz8352]

Love this! Thanks for sharing

[@kathleenbarragan2003]

How did you get yours to be so sparkly the seashell?

[@brianward2836]

Where did you get those goose measuring cups!!!

[@samanthaavelar5863]

They are so pretty :3 I want to make a ton of crystallized ocean theme ornaments.!

[@jenl1541]

How do these wear??? Do they just flake off after time or extremely delicate??

[@yoyomax12]

After about 4-5 years they start to whiten and look chalky. They are pretty durable however.

[@daisyoscarpoppy]

I love watching all your videos, they always make me smile :)

[@brooklynwilliams4074]

do u use warm water? Please reply

[@jccreatives9619]

Wooww thanku for ideas dear. Is any glue add to paper and sea shell dear?

[@jccreatives9619]

I tried but getting only sugar crystals wat to do

[@Sedgewise47]

Would this work with alum powder?

[@bellafroggy]

these are so beautiful i love them!!!!!!! x

[@caiti1D]

Omg i made those last year for my scirnce fair they cane out really cool!!!

[@tanyabernadino7103]

My class did this in 4th grade. So much fun!!

[@SylvieBunka]

lol I would probably have gone around the house looking for stuff to crystalize to>.

[@knutz95]

This is so cool! Hope I can get my hands on borax here so I can try this :)

[@auri2435]

Genius! Great job!

[@lyndsaysrebornnurseryoffib4241]

So cool! I love them! I need to make some!

[@foodjazz]

Cute idea!

[@melissalanderos5772]

What kind of paper can you also use??

[@nadineg.7493]

wow, that looks so awesome!

[@robotgamer6557]

It's time for yoyomax!!!!!!! 12

[@brendanarvaez-savoire7038]

is there any thing you can do to the snow flack made out of coffee filter to make them harder so they don't rip so easy

[@johnhowell9315]

+Brenda Narvaez-Savoire mabey that is your problem

[@MsChucklebunny]

What a great video!!

[@lexiisaway]

So cool! They don't sell borax around here though.... :(

[@tory0011]

Is borax like baking soda?
