Yield: 3 bottles
Equipment
Materials
- powdered cornstarch
- distilled water
- optional - vodka
Instructions
Method #1
- Mix 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch with 2 cups of distilled water until all lumps are dissolved.
- Fill a glass spray bottle.
- The only inconvenience about this version is that it keeps settling so you need to shake the bottle before each spritz.
Method #2
- Mix 3 oz vodka with 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch and 24 oz distilled water and blend well
- Pour into a spray bottle
- I found this version the lightest of all so this is great if you don't need a lot of stiffness in your fabric.
Method #3
- Mix 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch with 2 1/2 cups distilled water. Mix well until no lumps are left.
- Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes then cool.
- Once completely cooled, pour into a spray bottle and use.
- The heated version is the best in my experience. It stays suspended so no need for shaking and gives the perfect stiffness to my fabrics and clothes.
