<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 697602, member: 136&quot;]Sandra, I&#039;m trying to rewrite my post - part of it disappeared!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I immediately thought the same about that &quot;pinkish&quot; one. My grandmother taught me how to make one ca.1964-65&nbsp; - Grandma died in 1966, so I know it was before then. Yes, we used a boiled sugar-water solution to stiffen the &quot;fabric&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually remember going to Woolworth&#039;s with her to buy a plain water glass to use inside it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once washed, the sugar-stiffening is gone, but you can re-soak it in a new solution and reshape it to make it stand up properly again.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have mine around here someplace. If I can dig it out, I&#039;ll post a photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
