Shaping Finished Work

Bookmarks, jewelry, and many things are lovely to crochet. Once you have spent time making those itemsyou can shape them so they look amazing! Starch can be used for things that need a "not-so-stiff but still hold the shape" look. More starch=more stiffness. For a bowl or piece that needs stiffness to stand on its own or hold firm shape like a snowflake Christmas ornament, a commercial stiffner is easiest no hassle way to achieve that.
