Superglue Snowflakes        Difficulty rating: 3 out of 5

This project is very easy, and inexpensive but has a higher difficulty due to the chemicals involved. 
CAUTION!  Superglue can adhere to human skin very quickly and is difficult to remove without Acetone. If you do stick something to something else, do not try to pull them apart! Just pour or wipe small amounts of Acetone over the glue area and slowly work the glue off. You can then wash with soap and water.

Always do this project with an adult, and then they can have fun too!

Materials:
Superglue
Glass container
Borax
Hot Water

Tips:
The Borax solution of 7 tsp to 2 cups of water can be used for lots of fun projects after your Superglue Snowflakes. You can pour a little in school glue to make slime, put a pipe cleaner in and leave it in the fridge to grow borax crystals and more!

Directions:
Heat the water and mix in the borax stirring until completely dissolved. Then add your Super Glue! You can add it fast for larger shapes or slowly for smaller, more intricate designs.
