Homemade Stickers

Time

• 20 to 30 minutes

Materials

• White paper
• Ruler
• Pencil
• 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
• Markers or crayons
• Package of unflavored gelatin
• Small paintbrush
• Water

Directions

1. You can turn anything into a sticker using this easy recipe. Use the ruler and pencil to divide the paper into same-sized areas that will become the actual stickers.
2. Color designs or pictures onto each square. Mix the adhesive* as outlined below, and brush it onto the back side of the paper. The page will curl up, but when it is completely dry, it can be pressed flat with a heavy phone book.
3. Cut into individual stickers and lick to apply.

   *Adhesive: Sprinkle 1 packet of unflavored gelatin into a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Let soften for 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.

Extensions

• Use small pictures cut from magazines to make into stickers.
• Add a few drops of flavored extract, such as peppermint or lemon, to the glue for a better taste.
