Sugar Crystals

What you will need:

1. powdered sugar (dissolves easier than plain sugar)
2. boiling water
3. clear glass
4. cotton yarn
5. pencil
6. paper clip

Pour 1/4 cup hot water into a small mixing bowl and add enough sugar until absolutely no more will dissolve, approximately 1 cup. To form your crystals tie one piece of yarn to your pencil and a paper clip on the other end of the yarn. Pour the solution into the glass, and place the pencil on the rim of the glass with the weighted yarn in the solution. Several day later, as the water evaporates, you will see the crystal formations on the string. When the solution has evaporated completely they are done.
