I would have liked to see the dried result so I could just how stiff this recipe can make things.

[@nadinemorris5477]

I had to watch this twice because the first time your calm relaxing tone had me napping with my eyes open. Im gonna play this for my grandbaby when he won't stop crying. Im not saying your video was boring so please don't think that. I mean this in the nicest way possible. Thank you!!

Lisa, thank you for sharing your recipe, wanted to try starch some old doilies and never knew the ratio. Love the butterflies.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much sweet friend ❤️🙂

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

This just showed up today, so I think I'll be back and watch a few more of your videos. I haven't tried stiffening fabric for crafts yet, but it looks like a fun project to try out. I do like the butterflies - I have an old quilt that was falling apart, and I've been using sections of it for other crafts.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I do enjoy making those. Thank you sweet friend ❤️🙂

Just in time to make angel wings! Last night I put a clear glass drawer pl on my tall crystal salt shaker. Time to finish this angel!

Yay!!! Thank you so much sweet friend ❤️🙂

[@Vaniilynn_]

thank you so much! I've been looking into fabric-based cosplays recently and this will be really helpful since i really don't know how to sew. this will help a LOT! ❤️

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you dear friend. I’m not the best at sewing either❤️😉

[@lavetaowens6553]

Thank you Lisa, a whole lot cheaper this way. You made a video the other day making candles ornaments, you used a quilt for the flames, any suggestions if we don’t have a quilt, would regular fabric stiffened keep its shape or should I sew some batting in my flames?

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much sweet friend ❤️. I think any thick fabric will be just fine🙂

I have store bought stiffener but never knew corn starch does the same thing. I’ve made white doilies into flowers and attached them to dowels wrapped in green floral tape and put into a vase. Wish you would have shown them reshaped, dried and staged so everyone can see the final product and your talents. But I can also hear from your voice that you may be afflicted with “craft overdose” and boy, do I get that. Take care and thanks for your efforts.😊

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much sweet friend ❤️. I just wanted to quickly get this out in time for Christmas crafting.😉

[@mjperfume1523]

Does this working arcylic

[@mjperfume1523]

Can’t find anything that will stiffen this!

[@jesusislord2457]

I've just recently discovered your channel and had to subscribe! I've enjoyed each video I've watched, especially the ones on shabby chic decor. I'd never heard of it and almost cried when I thought of all the things I threw away that I could be using now! Question: I really want to make my own starch, since Argo is not easy to find and I'm out of cornstarch, so have you ever made fabric starch with flour? If so, is the he recipe the same? I'm headed over to watch your sc bird house video. Again, thank you for sharing your time, talents, and soothing voice. May the Lord God bless you and your family. ✌️♥️🙏

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much sweet friend❤️. I’m so grateful to have you🙂. I have never made it with flour but maybe there’s a recipe on Pinterest?

[@jesusislord2457]

Thank you for the suggestion! I had forgotten about Pinterest. Gasp👀ha

[@robbiediles4242]

Thank you so much I will have to give this a try😊 blessings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

God bless you as well ☺️❤️

[@melodylincoln4053]

Thanks for sharing. Easy enough...I was making it more complicated ,in my mind, then it was 😂😂😂

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much sweet friend ❤️. It is very simple😉

[@AllThingsSoul]

Thank you for the recipe. We do need to see the finished product which was not shown. I won't take the time to do this unless I know what it looks like after it has finished drying.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I wouldn’t either.😉

[@sandymcgill1910]

people have been doing this to lace for a hundred years and it has lasted perfect. They often crocheted cup an saucer then stiffened it.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@nplacemksd]

I'm working on a shadow box with a small child dress and pictures of her in the dress. Would this work to stiffen the dress? And if it dried wrong can I reset and reform it. Thank you so very much.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Yes, that’s sounds very doable!🙂❤️

[@amberawais2319]

We can use it on crochet stuff as well right?? Like to stiff a crochet frame. Will it work??

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Probably so😊

[@Madfattdeeb]

Thank you for making this video. I found it very helpful. The piece I am making will hang on the wall. My question is, is this permanent, or should I seal it with something.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I’m pretty sure it’s permanent

[@Madfattdeeb]

@ourshabbycottage8553 Oh excellent. Thank you again. 😊

[@SavedByGrace]

Could you add glitter to this then paint it on the fabric?

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I’m sure you could🙂

[@scootermom1791]

Hi! If you use this method for a fabric used for a craft, will it eventually get moldy? That's my biggest concern.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I have fabric I used this on several months ago and I haven’t had that issue yet. Of course that’s not a guarantee🙂

[@scootermom1791]

@@ourshabbycottage8553 I know there's no guarantee, but I'm glad to know you haven't had an issues with mold growth after several months. I need to stiffen a piece of fabric I'd cut out from an old t-shirt for a collage. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't go moldy any time soon. Did you happen to use a chemical sealant on your fabric afterwards?

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

@@scootermom1791 I didn’t but when you know it’s completely dry, it’s not a bad idea.

[@amystrickler7304]

Can you reuse a day later or do you need to make fresh each time

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I haven’t tried keeping it so I’m not sure.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I think maybe it should be fresh

[@Greta-Latina]

Is this ok to use on tulle? I need to make tulle stiff after painting it

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I think that would work.

[@Greta-Latina]

@@ourshabbycottage8553 thank you, will try it

[@IpsitDhal]

is it waterproof? i mean if we make it wet will it not get soft after once get dried.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I wouldn’t expect it to be waterproof. I think it Madison not Madison but Ashlyn when she was might get soft again.

[@janicekern5318]

Would this work if I want to fold the fabric like paper?

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I haven’t tried that but maybe it could

[@robertaelliott2023]

Can I use it on rope baskets

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I would think so🙂

[@yshoodi1956]

Thanks for the demonstration, but I wish you would have shown the fabric after it was dried to see the stiffness.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Sorry about that

[@user-hm7nt4vn1f]

Can this be sprayed on macrame?

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

I haven’t tried but I’m sure it could

[@balaramesh4948]

Name of the powder?

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Cornstarch

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

Wow… this is quick and easy. 😂 I just wasted $4 buying fabric stiffener at HL.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Oh no! Sorry I didn’t post this in time😉

[@nadinel9366]

can u spray it on then iron over it?

I’m not sure.

Lisa, I received a comment that looks like it is from you wanting me to contact you on telegram. I know other on you tube channels have had scam post sent from what appears to be their channel. You might let your viewer know you do not have a contest going on. Thanks, wanted you to know.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much! I reported them. I’ll also mention it on my next video.
