Materials You Will Need:
- White vinegar (1 cup)
- Cornstarch (½ cup)
- Water (½ cup)
- Medium-sized saucepan
- Stirring spoon
- Airtight container for storage
Step 1: Combine Vinegar and Water
In a medium-sized saucepan, pour 1 cup of white vinegar and add ½ cup of water. Stir the mixture well to ensure proper blending.
Step 2: Add Cornstarch
Gradually sprinkle ½ cup of cornstarch into the vinegar and water mixture while stirring continuously. This will prevent the formation of lumps.
Step 3: Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Keep stirring the mixture gently as it heats up. The heat will help dissolve the cornstarch and thicken the glue.
Step 4: Achieve Desired Consistency
Continue heating and stirring the mixture until it thickens to your desired consistency. Keep in mind that the glue will further thicken as it cools, so it’s better to have a slightly thinner consistency during this step.
Step 5: Cool and Store
Once your Vinavil glue has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool completely. As it cools, the glue will further thicken. Once cooled, transfer the glue into an airtight container for storage.
And voila! You have successfully made your own Vinavil glue. It is now ready to be used for various crafts, such as paper mache, collage, or sticking porous materials together. Store your homemade glue in a cool, dry place to extend its shelf life.
Using homemade Vinavil glue can save you money and reduce your reliance on commercial adhesives. Give it a try and unleash your creativity with this simple DIY adhesive!
