Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat.

Pour 3 tbsp boiling water into a heatproof bowl. Add 1 package (7.09gr.) of nonflavored gelatin. Mix the gelatin with the spoon until it is dissolved.

Add 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tsp glycerine to the gelatin mixture. Stir the ingredients until they are completely blended.

Pour the contents of the bowl into a resealable, heatproof jar. You will have approximately 1/3 c. tacky glue.

TIP

Apply the glue with a small brush while it is still warm. Use the glue to bind fabric to cardboard when making a craft project. The glue will gel when it has cooled. Run it under hot water to return it to a liquid state.
