Cute gift presentation but I am unsure of the best stiffening agent to use and am just putting ideas out there.meggiecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908380074299822473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846152.post-68602591441628432008-11-09T07:17:00.000-08:002008-11-09T07:17:00.000-08:00Did you ever make any of these?Did you ever make any of these?calamity kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568252430991692124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846152.post-89543774161200075982008-04-12T05:30:00.000-07:002008-04-12T05:30:00.000-07:00I so want to make one of these.

Some have used a sugar solution or starch but it all works the same: Saturate the item with the solution, remove excess and shape. Allow to dry. Carefully remove. <BR/><BR/>Martha Steward made doily bowls this week on her show and draped the item over a bowl for shaping. <BR/>Tobey<BR/>www.dustbunnys.wordpress.combobbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643115546119922717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846152.post-2805435642770926742008-03-16T06:33:00.000-07:002008-03-16T06:33:00.000-07:00Love your blog!
