You may be familiar with making snowflakes from Borax crystals.  In this instructable we will be making Borax crystal candle holders the same way with the magic of science.

Admittedly this is my third instructable on making candle holders so it may seem like I have a bit of an obsession. But what can I say, one can never have enough candles.  Especially if you have sparkly crystal candle holders.

I cound see in shop like this product. But according to shop owner that was made by an another crystal, that was like salt. Also it was made by baking on oven.
Does any one know about it ?

These are made out of Borax crystals commonly found in laundry detergent. I don't know the ones that are baked.

Nice! I'm going to try this!
I wonder if the borax solution instead of being thrown away can be reheated and used again? Or could it be used for cleaning something?

Yes, the solution can be reused by heating again and adding a bit more Borax or for cleaning, thank you for mentioning it.
