After going through can after can of spray starch and/or sizing - an article in a magazine came back to mind.
You can make you own EASILY!!! Starch is still sold as liquid in large bottles - at the grocery stores in USA. Water it down to about 1/4 starch and 3/4 water- in a hand trigger spray bottle. You can either buy a small bottle at a iscoount place etc, over use an older WELL WASHED OUT spray bottle from prosucts like SHOUT, WINDEX etc. WASH THEM VERY WELL.
Amazing how much time, effort and money this one tip has saved me. Always handy, and easily to make refills.
What money saving easy tip works for you?

My starch recipe is:
1 cup sta-flo concentrated starch (big fat blue bottle)
1 cup water (baby or distilled)
1 cup of Febreeze Lavender scent liquid ( comes in the blue spray bottle)
mix and pour in a clean spray bottle..

hmmm vodka & water?
I put 1 tsp sugar in 4 oz hot water, shake, add 4 oz vodka & that's my hairspray. (emphysema, cant use the real stuff)
what's sticky about vodka to use it for starch replacement?
Thanks!
