How to make your own boiplastic (kids should not do this by themselves):
- Place about 65 milliliters of water in a pot with 9.5 grams of cornstarch
- Stir it up with any type of spoon
- Put in about 7 milliliters of glycerin
- Stir it up with a whisker
- Add 7 milliliters of vinegar in the mixture and stir it up with whiskers
- Turn the heat up on the stove until the mixture is at a boiling rate (100 degrees F)
- Stir the mixture up with whiskers
- Keep stirring till the solution is clear
- Spread the mixture out on a cookie sheet, or aluminum foil
- Try to add something to it so that it doesn’t stick the the aluminum foil/ cookie sheet
- After a week of drying take a spatula and pick up the bioplastic
