Most kids can’t get enough of stickers. With this easy recipe you can make stickers with just about anything from magazines, gift wrap, books etc. It is made with a secret ingredient you have in your kitchen: jello.
All you need is Gelatin (or jello), scraps of paper or your kiddos drawing, scissors and brush
Dissolve 2 tsp of gelatin with 5 tsp of hot water. If you are using jello dissolve 0.3 oz (small box) in 5 tbs water
mix well. You can use it right away or you can wait a few minutes until it becomes slightly gluey. I made it both ways with jello and with gelatin and both acted the same as glue. The jello however tasted better but it was also colored.
Cut bunch of pictures out, these could include pictures of your own kiddos
With a paintbrush coat the back of the pictures. After experimenting a bit it is better to let the gelatin mixture get gooey a bit since you do not want to soak the pictures or they will stick to the surface you are drying them on. Alternately you can dry them on a cookie cooling rack.
Once dry the stickers are ready to lick and stick. Your kiddo can become a fashion or interior designer if you choose to use clothing or home catalog.
