I have only tried with corn syrup. It is thicker than regular table syrup. If you try please let us know.
Wow.. very simple… can be tried easily…
BTW we can use any kind of syrup, right… if the light corn syrup isn’t available ..??
Gosh Becky I just don’t know the answer to that question. Maybe someone could help?
How about boiling a little sugar and water to make a thick sugar syrup?

This is a great safe way to show little kids how to make anything into stickers. I will have to share this with my wife so she can share this with her young students.
