HOW TO MAKE POTATO STARCH STIFFENER:
Dissolve 3 Tbs of Potato Starch in 1/2 cup of COLD water. Boil 3 cups of water in a pot, add your starch mixture to the boiling water , STIRRING constantly (to avoid lumps) for 40seconds until it looks clear & remove from the heat at the boiling point. Pour the stiffener from the hot pot into a bowl & keep stirring it from time to time until it cools to a comfortable temperature for your hands. Your starch stiffener is now ready to use.
Soak your crochet baubles in the stiffener for 2-5 min. Remove your baubles one by-one from the stiffener, squeezing the extra liquid out. Insert a balloon through the side of a bauble and inflate it. Twist and tie off the balloon. Hang the balloon to dry for 24h. The next day you can pop the balloon and pull it out of the bauble.
