Maybe will give it a try today.
Okay....just gave it a try. :thumbup:
It worked great no scorching or flaking with the iron. The fabric is flexible...yet crisp.

I just did a bing search for clear elmer's school glue and there is one available. The recipe that I made has a white cast to it. I suppose if you wanted it to be clear....use the clear glue.

My recipe:
1Tbs. Elmer's School Glue
3 C. Warm Water

I suppose if you wanted a heavier recipe just add a little more glue. You can also add the essential oils that others have suggested. Also...don't know if you would have to store in the fridge. Will keep it out for a few days and see what happens.
