corn starch packing peanuts



Another fascinating material which I semidissolved in water then mashed it all up and spread it across the bottom of a bowl. I thwn dried this in the oven, and ended up with a relatively inflexible sheet material. I am not sure though how likely this is to crack....I also found a site describing how to make your own using water and corn starch- well i am not sure i produced a packing peanut, it looks more like a squishy donut. the center part is interesting though, it is almost like parchment paper.
