Starched old doilies

I wanted to see if the starch works to stiffen things. I found these old doilies that I had from years ago and I tried them out. I first went on you tube to see how they starch stuff. They use only water and corn starch which they boil till it become somewhat clear and thicker. When it cools down you dunk the doilies in that solution and sqeeze as much out as possible.Cover with glad wrap over a shaped bowl that you like and put the doily on it and shape it nicely, as it will dry out that way. There are different stiffener that you can choose I like this type.
