1/2 cup citric acid (buy this at your pharmacy or grocery store)

Sieve dry ingredients until you get a nice smooth blend.
Wet ingredients:

3/4 Tbsp. water
2 tsp. Fragrance oil or essential oil of your choice
food coloring, just a few drops

Combine wet ingredients and borax in a jar, cover tightly and shake

Once more the liberal year laughs out
O'er richer stores than gems or gold:
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is nature's boldest triumph told.
