Yes, I find borax crystals tend to form a bit smaller. These large crystals are cool. I love making crystals although it’s been a while since I made some last. With the borax, I found that by keeping the solution warmer longer, by draping a towel over the container to insulate, more crystals grew. This for sharing
Julie, that's so cool. You can also do this with borax. If you just stick a string in it, you'll get a string of crystals, and you could use for the edge of your molds.
New subscriber here. This is the second video of yours that I watched. I just stumbled across your videos. I have never seen such a thing! I did not get to do this in school as so many claim. I have to ask myself where have I been all my life? LOL. I cannot wait to try some of these amazing works of art. Thank you!!!! Blessings sent from Grandma Gia in the Ozarks
So neat! Your compressor scared the heck out of me too! I was watching with ear buds in and i woke up my husband and said WHAT WAS THAT??? he fell asleep right away again thank fully
This is so awesome! I can’t wait to see the other video with the borax to see if you get smaller Druid like crystals! I think the smaller crystals would look gorgeous with this rose! 😍
So cool! I've seen Michelle from Glitz n Glitter do the borax crystals, and I have a feeling you're going to love the results you get with borax! But I'd not yet seen anyone do the alum powder ones, and this is certainly impressive! I can't wait to see you make more crystals in general! So fun to watch and can feel your excitement as well :)
OMG THAT IS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!! I had gotten some Alumni powder to make some crystals. Haven’t tried yet, but WOWZERS 😮😮😮 I even have some of those roses. SCIENCE NIGHT 😊😊😂😂
You are such a sweet lady 💕. I really enjoyed watching your video. 😊 This is my first time coming across one of your videos. I'm only sorry that I haven't before. I'm going to subscribe for more of your videos. I look forward to seeing what you do. I'm also going to check out your previous ones right away. Thank you for sharing your ideas and especially in such a sweet and happy way. May God bless you my dear.😊
My daughter in law home schooled their son, and they used Borax powder and pipe cleaners and made Christmas decorations as a science experiment a couple of years ago. I still have some of them. A lot of the crystals fell of of some of them, but they are still beautiful and very special to me.
Pretty! I didn't do this alum crystal growing in school. 😢 I've played with the borax crystal making lately with success, I think. 😉 You do have to clear coat them before making a mold, and the molds turn out amazing! I've made several just playing around. 😁
Not too sure about this one but I'm going to watch the next one. I love the idea and am excited to see the next try. Thanks so much for the idea & your process!
I was alittle curious to see how this would turn out and ta da,would you look at that,oh my goodness how pretty are they,it worked really well. So pretty,I really enjoy watching you create your art works.Thanks for showing and sharing.💐👍💗.
Absolutely stunning!! I wonder how the rose would turn out if you left it right side up in the solution. I think it would change the look a good bit but still be just as beautiful. I can't wait to see more crystal videos from you!!
Aw every time i watch your channel, just you saying good day makes me smile, your energy is just beautiful ❤ i know how ot os with your daughter moving out so many times lol. Its harder for our kids these days. Great to hear the doggo's chatting ❤ I had a crystal garden kit my dad bought me as kid and it was the best present ever (next to my microscope) (yes i was a nerd) im definitely trying this at some point. Thank you
I can understand how difficult it is to create a perfect crystal. I have made it with very mixed results... This rose is very beautiful with the crystals on it... They are pipe cleaners here...
I have never heard of this before. How curious. Very interesting. I was very shocked about pipe cleaners not being called pipe cleaners any more. Thats annoying. And i almost went through the roof when the compressor came on hahah. Such fun.
This is You grew some huge crystals in no time! Can’t wait for the borax crystals. Maybe if you weigh the same volume of plain water then weigh the water / solution that’s leftover you can then add more aluminum sulfate to equal your weight recipe at the start. The plain water shouldn’t weigh the same as the leftover solution. So the extra weight is alum .
I remember doing this at senior school. You can use copper sulphite powder, too. I think you can colour the solution if I remember that far back. They are beautiful Julie. Thanks for the memories. I wonder if they can be set in resin? If they could, that would preserve them because if I remember rightly they do eventually dissolve.
Hey Julie! Wow, how cool is that...they're so pretty. Will adding some type of color to the solution inhibit the crystal growth? Making different colored crystals would be so gorgeous. Can't wait to see the next experiments!!
9:29..... It would do a world of good to use a pipe cleaner to anchor the flower to the handle of the measuring cup. It would give you a steadier control of the movement of the flower as well as preventing the flower from lowering to the bottom while you work out your sticks ....
I loved this video! I’ve always wondered about this. Thanks so much for sharing what you’ve learned so far ❤ Can’t wait to see what happens with Borax. There’s a place a couple of hours from us where you can go hunting for Geodes. I want to go as soon as it’s warm enough. Your Crystals are beautiful!
So beautiful! I wonder if the solution would take dye, so the crystals could be pink or blue or...?? :) You can re-use your water in one of two ways. One, heat the water back up and slowly add powder until it stops dissolving. This will have lowered them temp, of course. Heat it back up again and add just a little bit more powder. Once it stops dissolving AND the water is completely hot, you are as saturated as possible. Time to grow your crystal. The other way would be to make your recipe as normal first, then weigh it, water and powder. Note how much is in your cup (volume) as well. After you have made your first round, put the cup back on the scale and add powder until the weight is nearly correct, then check the level of the water. Add some if needed, then add more powder to bring it to the correct weight. It may take some experimenting to get it right where you like it, but it doesn't need to be completely precise.
I think that the smaller Borax crystals would look stunning on this type of rose. 😍 The huge ones on this one are a bit much for my tastes but still really pretty. 😅👍
Try doing this with Borax wash poweder if you can get it there. Sorry i dont know exact recipe. I made ornaments with this and the crystals were small, covered the whole surface. 🤗
Love those crystals.. I failed with the alum but had some luck with Borax. Not as big crystals but very beautiful ones. However exposed to air after sometime they turn into opaque white which are not as beautiful as firstly cultivated.. any luck on your side.

This turned out so pretty. I remember making rock candy when I was a kid. Such beautiful crystals. ❤❤
My Grandma used to make us rock candy and string it on embroidery floss to make us little bracelets and necklaces ❤
You have the best video on doing the crystals I have searched hours to learn and keep coming back to you!
I’m over here screaming, put something a tiny bit heavy on the sticks to hold them down but you always find a way ❤
Oh, what a fun project to try with the grandchildren! That's beautiful....
I found the same is true for gelatin also . Needs to be hot water, stir until dissolved, then microwave to dissolve the remaining powder
So neat! Your compressor scared the heck out of me too! I was watching with ear buds in and i woke up my husband and said WHAT WAS THAT??? he fell asleep right away again thank fully

These crystals turned out gorgeous Julie ❤
I remember making rock candy and sugar crystals in school. So did my kids when they was in school.
Julie you are so creative. This is beautiful.
Oh my goodness, Julie! I have never seen such huge crystals! Those are gorgeous! How fun is this?!? 😍👍😊
Stand it up in a piece of styrofoam to dry. It turned out fabulous! 👏👍😊
OMG THAT IS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!! I had gotten some Alumni powder to make some crystals. Haven’t tried yet, but WOWZERS 😮😮😮 I even have some of those roses. SCIENCE NIGHT 😊😊😂😂
me too. Im going to do it
Tammy: Where did you get those roses please!
@@callimedved9189 found them on Amazon. They are exactly like hers but holographic. They have multiple colors available

You should get a soda cup lid maybe that would work to help keep it from wanting to move. Not sure but it might. Lol😂
Punch a hole in plastic lid. Put stem in then once over liquid tape the side down
My daughter in law home schooled their son, and they used Borax powder and pipe cleaners and made Christmas decorations as a science experiment a couple of years ago. I still have some of them. A lot of the crystals fell of of some of them, but they are still beautiful and very special to me.
So interesting. I haven't seen this done. Something to research and new to try. Thank you for sharing.
So cool and YESSSSS I would love to see you make more!!!!
Pretty! I didn't do this alum crystal growing in school. 😢

I remember doing these as a kid but I’m really enjoying these experiments!!!
Science is amazing! 😻 so beautiful!
I grew my alum crystals and turned them into diamonds but that video is somewhere on RUclips. Love this video.
This turned out really pretty. Love the contrasting colors on the flower.🌹
Thank you for sharing. They turned out nice. Can't wait to see how you fine tune this
I was alittle curious to see how this would turn out and ta da,would you look at that,oh my goodness how pretty are they,it worked really well.
So pretty,I really enjoy watching you create your art works.Thanks for showing and sharing.💐👍💗.
Thank you Julie! What an exciting experiment! Lovely results.❤looking forward to seeing more! ☺️💐
This was great! Can't wait to see more! And for the record, I call them pipe cleaners...cuz that's one of the many ways I use them. 🙂
Brilliant! I cant wait to try this! Thank you so much Julie 🌹
I found wrapping the jug with a couple of layers of foil and a lid of foil kept the solution hotter longer. Just a tip 😊
I never had the fun to make crystals at school, looks like a lot of fun ❤😊
I was amazed how much they looked like real quartz crystals.
Very cool. I saw this also on another channel and me and my granddaughter are going to try it. Thanks for showing.
So beautiful ❤
Very cool! I love the idea of a “seed crystal”, to grow larger ones!👍🏻😃
Absolutely stunning!! I wonder how the rose would turn out if you left it right side up in the solution. I think it would change the look a good bit but still be just as beautiful. I can't wait to see more crystal videos from you!!
Thats awesome
Oh I so remember doing this in school too. Turned out amazing. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing, we have a popcorn rock we started on Valentine's day.
look into getting a claw clamp holder stand... that can hold ur items for u... u may have to have someone make one...
You have so much patience. Mine would have been thrown across the room!

Wow - those crystals are amazing!
Beautiful! Thank you, Julie!❤
Wow, that's very cool and pretty. They look awesome on the iridescent flower. xoxoooxoxo
How pretty. 💖 This turned out so nice. 💗
I did some purple crystals on styrofoam about a year ago. I just love growing crystals. So fun!!
Fantastic experiment 😮! Thanks so much for sharing this technique.
Love it Julie. Ive been doing different things with the roses but that is amazing
I saw them do that, but with only Borax and they came out great...
Oh my goodness, amazingly gorgeous 😍
I have never heard of this before. How curious. Very interesting. I was very shocked about pipe cleaners not being called pipe cleaners any more. Thats annoying. And i almost went through the roof when the compressor came on hahah. Such fun.
Going to save this video for later to watch it all. I'm curious in trying to make my own crystals someday
Definitely going to try this one Julie thanks for great video 👍
Omgosh ❤❤❤❤ it !! Stunning!!

So cool!! Very pretty!
Absolutely gorgeous

You could seal them ❤
Amazing just beautiful 😮😍
Those are gigantinc crystals!!! WOW
It's pronounced A-LUME-A-NUM That turned out beautiful 🤗🌹
In the USA yes, but overseas it’s pronounced how Julie says it.
thank you for sharing your journey!!!
Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful julie
Hey Julie! Wow, how cool is that...they're so pretty. Will adding some type of color to the solution inhibit the crystal growth? Making different colored crystals would be so gorgeous. Can't wait to see the next experiments!!
You can definitely add colouring
@@PouringYourHeartOut That's great news, thanks Julie!

Very cool... beautiful crystal formations ❤
Lovely.❤❤❤❤
Maybe use a fork ~ place the stem in-between the prongs of the fork to hold in place maybe 😊
Awesome Video 😊
The worst part is they are called pipe cleaner's because plummers and air duct specialists use industrial made ones in pipes or ducts 😅
The small ones are used to clean smoking pipes. 😊
Oh goodness! I love this!
So beautiful

Absolutely 💯 Gorgeous ❤
I love all your videos and your crafts. Thank you so much. I'm learning new things from you.
Wow - Just amazing process!
Very cool.
If you have a coffee/tea warmer, you could keep your water hot.
Wow... Very pretty !! 😍❤ Congratulations and thank you so much, Julie @Pouring Your Heart Out. 😍🌹❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙋♀️🇨🇵🫂🫶
Very pretty
You should put it in a caseing like a beauty and the beast type style
Maybe some craft foam board… the ticker styrofoam stuff…. Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing!
Julie, it's beautiful. Suggestions, you need a microwave in your studio.
The simplest method was to drill a hole in a jar lid, or something similar. Anyway, the idea is extraordinary, for which I thank you...
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Try doing this with Borax wash poweder if you can get it there. Sorry i dont know exact recipe. I made ornaments with this and the crystals were small, covered the whole surface. 🤗

Yes, Borax seems not as pointy or shiny 😂
