Random Quick Tip!

Make it Stiff
For stiffening stuff. I just bought this wonderful stuff from Wal-Mart called Stiffen Stuff. It works great and you can control how stiff you want something by adding more coats of it as needed. It comes in a pump spray bottle and you can get 32 oz refill bottles for the pump bottle. You can even dry it in the microwave. There is a website you can go to to learn more about it. http
//www.beacon1.com I used it for the skirt of the angel and it holds up very well. I used only two applications and it is able to hold it's shape but does have some give to it. You cannot even tell that there is stiffener in it. I really love the stuff. For something a basket though, you may want to keep adding coats of it until it is as stiff as you want it.
