Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp corn syrup
  • Food coloring (optional)

  • A small cup (to control pouring)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the baking soda and corn syrup until you feel a soft, sandy texture.

  3. Once the fizz settles, add food coloring if desired and watch the colors swirl.
  4. Mold the mixture into a tree shape on your tray slowly.
  5. Let the tree dry for several hours or overnight.
  6. Once dry, gently shake off any excess powder to reveal your creation.

Notes

Avoid high humidity storage to maintain the tree’s shape. Use baking soda for future crafts if needed.
