how do i crystalize this compound i made? Hopefully i will get copper sulfate. I dont have a bunsen burner at home. So i need to use the kitchen(i had to con my mum into letting me :P) I have a beaker. Do i heat the mixture to boiling point then let it sit to form crystals or do i evaporate it.

You need to supersaturate the solution. Since you probably don't have a lot of the compound, you'll want to just add a small amount of water (just enough so that it will go into solution, not any more!!), then let the solution evaporate slowly over time.
