Materials: IKEA catalogs and rice glue (ecological)
Description: A small box and one empty pockets made from an IKEA catalog and to keep in mind recycling / ecology, I realized a glue based on rice starch.
For the glue :
In 1/3 liter of water, cook 200 g of rice or rice flour at low heat.
You can use a rice that has already been cooked, still a ...
When the rice is very (too) cooked, the starch content in rice is naturally going to be diluted in water. The liquid will thicken and whiten. Add a little water if too thick.
Filter, cool the rice glue.
It is of paper tape 3 cm, folded in four in the width and assembled one upon the other with 3 millimeters each time offset.

This just looks like too much work.
ReplyDeleteFYI -- One thing about making your own rice glue. You need to use the type of rice that's naturally starchy. Sushi rice would work best. If you decide to use Carolina rice, you may be disappointed...
