One of my relatives was following you too. I love making home made starch and have been using it for years. I do mine a bit different. I buy the half gallon container of liquid starch in the grocery store, cheap. Then following the directions on the bottle for strength found out it works better than the can(s) of starch I had been using for years. I use any left over spray bottle but found I like a fancy bottle best. You have a great site and I will follow you. Thanks.

I'd recommend finding a thicker fabric right off the bat. (or you will have to rework it. I've tried it before.) hope that helps!<br /><br />AmandaAmanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-27444548461019896952010-04-13T09:13:31.684-05:002010-04-13T09:13:31.684-05:00Hi there

It might be worth experimenting to heat up the cornstarch in water to emulsify it, so that you don't have to shake it up... <br /><br />(untested, so far)<br /><br />but I really like the DIY cornstarch.
