    This is another basic glue recipe that works better than the flour recipe. It’s good for holding paper together without making ripples or bubbles.

    • Pour 3/4 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat.
    • Add 1/4 cup cornstarch, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup and 1 teaspoon white vinegar.
    • Whisk the ingredients together until they’re blended well.
    • Stir the mixture constantly until it thickens.
    • In the airtight container where you want to store your glue, whisk 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup water together until smooth.
    • Take the saucepan off heat. Slowly add the mixture from your saucepan into the container, and keep whisking constantly so everything blends together smoothly.

    Let it cool to room temperature before using.
