Whether it's in a practical salt shaker or the original container, you can pretty much find salt in every household. But instead of just cooking with it, you can use it for so many other DIY projects – from the fun to the practical to the genius!
1. DIY Salt Crystal Tree
You'll Need:
- paperboard
- pencil
- box cutter
- red food coloring
- potassium phosphate
Here's How:
1.1 Draw the outline of two trees on paperboard with a pencil. Draw a narrow rectangle down the middle of one of the tree trunks.
1.2 Use a box cutter to cut out the trees. Also cut out out the narrow rectangle you drew on one of the tree trunks.
1.3 Paint the tops of the trees with food coloring. Wait until the front dries before painting the back. Then assemble the 3D tree by sliding the cut tree over the uncut tree.
1.4 Place the tree in a petri dish or on a plate and pour the potassium phosphate over it.
1.5 Watch your tree blossom over the next 24 hours.
