Making Your Own Glue for Envelopes

from: keeper

After you've made your homemade cards and matching envelopes, here's an easy to make glue.

6 tablespoon white vinegar

4 (0.1 oz.) packets unflavoured gelatine

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Start by bringing the vinegar to a boil in a pan. Add the gelatine and stir until it dissolves. Add the extract and stir until well mixed. While still warm brush a thin layer onto your homemade envelope flap and set aside and allow to dry.

To adhere the envelope, moisten as you would any envelope and press closed. Store unused mixture in an airtight container. To re-apply, warm the mixture in a pan and apply as before.
