DIY Glue

Hi! Today we're making DIY glue. This works as well as Elmer's glue, and is a natural alternative. If you water it down, it is great for Mod Podge! You will need:

• Saucepan
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 cup of granulated white sugar
• 3 cups of water
• Whisk
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon of vinegar
• An airtight container to put it all in

Start by putting the water, flour, and sugar into the saucepan. Put it over medium heat, and keep whisking until smooth. 

Then, keep whisking until you feel that the mixture is getting thick. Put the oil and vinegar in. As you can see, at first the oil separates at the top, but if you keep whisking, it mixes in.

After you've whisked it in, you will see that it gets super thick. Take it off the heat, and and wait for it to cool off at room temperature.

After you've let it cool off, put it in a sealable airtight container. Then you're done! This is what it looks like:

This DIY was fun and very easy to make. This project took about 10 minutes from start to finish, and you most likely have all the materials in your house already! I hope you liked it.

Until next week,
