String and Sugar Creations

This little yarn creations was a product of a mishap while trying to make sugar crystal candy! Which by the way if you have been successful at please email me.

When I pulled the string out of the sugar water I noticed how hard and rigid it was when it was dry. So then I thought why not make something with it.

My daughter made this little piece of art by soaking yarn in sugar water and then letting it dry. In my experience I've found the more sugar the better and the more string piled on top each other the sturdier the creation. It takes 3 to 5 days to dry depending on how wet everything is so understand that this project requires patients. It is a virtue right. Just not one I claim.

Our sugar water was really thick like syrup. Sorry I didn't measure I'll try and be more specific in my next posts. I boiled a almost equal parts of water and sugar together until it was clear.
