I will have to try using the liquid starch. The only time I used it was when I was making overall planters. Take a small kids overall, starch the heck out of it and then position it (using plastic bags) to sit on an coffee container. When it dries you can sit a small plant in it. I make a lollypop out of a button, small piece of a skewer and piece of fabric. They turn out cute. I think I still have a bottle of the liquid....lets see if I can find it.
