| Just beautiful! Are they starched? Is that how they stand up? |

| Yes they are starched in cornstarch and it works beautifully. I have had some now for many months and they are just as stiff as the first day. I soak them for about 20 mins and then put them on a mold and use some wax paper in the arms to keep the shape until dry.
Thanks for your kind words. |

| These are indeed BEAUTIFUL. What is the cornstarch mix you use? I have a tree top angel that is getting a bit limp (after 20 years) and would like to re-do her.
How tall are they? |

| Thanks, my tall ones are 17 1/2" and the small ones are about 8".
I use one cup of water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.

| Thanks for the recipe. A friend used Elemers Glue mixture to stiffen her's then developed an alergy tot eh glue so stopped making them. I'll have to let her know.
And I have a bag full of crocheted snowflakes that need to be stiffened. |
