How to Make Liquid Corn Starch
Turning powdered corn starch into liquid corn starch is very simple and can be completed in a matter of minutes. Liquid corn starch has many uses, including craft projects, household cleaning, facials and, of course, starching laundry. You can even add less water and food coloring to corn starch to create slime (a gooey, usually green substance kids love to play with). While liquid corn starch can be purchased in most grocery stores, making it at home saves you money. Does this Spark an idea?
