Here's a fun little idea to do when the kids have a snow day (or when you're feeling a little creative and playful), make your own stickers.
It's really pretty easy.
What you need:
1 envelope (1/4 oz) unflavored gelatin
4 tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1/2 tsp flavoring extract
Add gelatin to the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Stir in corn syrup and flavoring.
You can use your own artwork, wrapping paper, magazine pictures, whatever moves you. Simply paint the sticker gum to the back of your art and allow to dry. Then cut out your "sticker", lick and paste.
If you aren't ready to let your inner child out to play, you can also use this tip for making your own address labels or resticky envelopes that lost their zest. Or for bookplates such as those needed to free your books (see bookcrossing.com).
