Create your own vibrant crystal garden with this fun and easy recipe.
Mix the salt, warm water, bluing, and ammonia in a bowl until the salt dissolves.
Ensure the salt is fully dissolved for optimal crystal growth.
Place the porous material in the shallow glass bowl.
Arrange the pieces to allow maximum exposure to the solution.
Pour the prepared solution over the porous material.
Pour slowly to evenly distribute the solution.
Drip food coloring onto the porous material as desired.
Use different colors for a vibrant effect.
Place the bowl on a tray or wooden board and leave it undisturbed to allow crystals to grow.
Choose a warm, dry location for faster growth.
Add water occasionally to maintain growth as needed.
Check daily to ensure the material remains moist.
