craft - Gum for Home Made Stickers
4 tbsp. water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 tsp. corn syrup, optional
1/2 tsp. cherry, lemon or vanilla extract, optional
Put 1 tbsp. of cold water into a small bowl or cup.
Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over it. Let the
gelatin soften for 5 minutes.
Pour 3 tbsp. of boiling water into the softened gelatin
and stir until dissolved. If you have trouble getting the
gelatin to dissolve, bring it to a boil in the microwave
for just a few seconds.
For a final touch, give your sticker gum some flavor by
adding corn syrup or a flavored extract.
Store the sticker gum in a baby food jar.
Keep it refrigerated when you are not using it.
It will keep for months, but it will gel overnight.
To return it to a liquid state, place the jar in a pan of hot water.
To use the sticker gum, brush it thinly on the back of the sticker.
The sticker will curl as it dries.
When it's dry, moisten the sticker and apply it to paper.
This recipe makes enough sticker gum for hundreds of stickers.
An idea is for to cut small pictures from magazines and use
this sticker gum to put them into a notebook, scrapbook,
etc. Use a small 1/4 c. plastic container with a lid for storage
