Homemade Rock Candy

  

They didn't come out as good as I hoped (most were stuck in the jar), but we had fun making them.

 

You need A LOT of sugar to make rock candy.  4 cups of water to 10 cups of sugar or until the sugar no longer dissolves.

 "It dissolved, I can see the bottom."

Rolling the sticks on sugar so the crystals have something to stick to.

 Mixing in food coloring

Place in a warm natural light setting.  Ready in 7 days.

Happy 5th Birthday, Charlotte!

Some pictures outside...

 

Of course a princess needs a tiara and wand!
