Creating your DIY Overnight Crystals Craft is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat Water: In a small pot, heat 1 cup of water until it’s nearly boiling.
2. Dissolve Sugar: Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar (or salt) until fully dissolved to create a saturated solution.
3. Add Color: If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to the solution for vibrant crystals.
4. Transfer Solution: Carefully pour the solution into a clean glass container, leaving some space at the top.
5. Set Up for Crystallization: Optionally, suspend a piece of string in the solution using a pencil as a makeshift hanger. This will help form larger crystals on the string.
6. Cover and Let Sit: Loosely cover the container to prevent dust from entering, and place it in a cool, undisturbed area.
7. Wait Overnight: Allow the solution to sit undisturbed overnight, observing as crystals begin to form.

These clear instructions provide an easy way to create crystals right from the comfort of your home.
