      • 1 Tsp Glycerol 
      • 3 Tbsp Gelatin
      • 8 Tbsp Water

    • Incorporate glycerol
      • Less Glycerol will result in a more brittle but harder material, more Glycerol will create a more flexible and soft sheet
    • Put on medium heat stir until the mixture starts to bubble or froth 
    • Remove from heat and continue to stir for a few minutes 
    • Pour into mold 
    • Let dry for approximately 2 days
      • While drying the material will go through various stages of flexibility, take this opportunity to cut shapes or build form during the early stages of drying
