    Hi Judy,

    My name is Linda. There are a lot of ways to grow crystals, but I think borax or sugar is what you're looking for. I haven't seen them done on zip ties but that might work. In this article, the borax is in the text and the sugar is in the video at the bottom of the article. I hope this helps.

    Hi Judy - I tried to find the project you are talking about here, but was unable to locate it. If you can find it, you'll need to ask your question at the bottom of the page so that the person who wrote the tutorial can answer your question. If it is a series of ideas on one page, then click on the individual idea for full instructions. I wish I could have been more help!

    Judy, I like borax. Even though it takes longer to form, it always looks unique. And I use white bread bag ties. ☺️
