I'll look for starch at the grocery store later Cheryl (who's TUSAL has lots of glittery orts) |

First I have to find water bombs and starch that isn't in a spray can (yes, I know I can use white glue) I'm tempted to do it too. I just need to figure out what to do with them afterwards since they look similar to a cat toy I need to make sure they aren't within a cats reach. -Margaret in MA -- Margaret St. John |

First I have to find water bombs and starch that isn't in a spray can (yes, I know I can use white glue) It does look like fun - bring you back to childhood fingerpainting, sort of. You can usually find liquid starch in the grocery store, but I've also seen starch powder, which you then mix with water to make the liquid starch. I don't know if I'd use white glue, but you could use decoupage glue stuff, or that stuff that Michael's sells for stiffening ribbon, IIRC, called "Stiffy" - tee hee. Anyhow, I'd just thin those down. They're better, clearer drying than the white glue. Just sayin' Ellice |

We had one who could make it from the floor to the top of the fridge in one leap. That house had low ceilings, she could've gotten anything hanging from the ceiling. This house has 9.5-foot ceilings, so even she would've had difficulty getting to anything hung from the ceiling.
