METHOD 1

Ingredients
-120mL (1/2cup) cool or room temperature water (not hot!)
-1 tbsp (15mL or 8g) tapioca starch (can substitute cornstarch)
-colour (we used 1 tsp organic beet powder, turmeric, and blue spirulina powders)

1. Combine water & tapioca starch in a sauce pan and mix well BEFORE turning on heat.
2. Turn on medium-low heat and stir occasionally.
3. When the starch starts to gel on the bottom of the pan, stir more often, and keep stirring until fully thickened.
4. Remove from heat and divide into bowls (however many colours you’d like to make)
5. Add colour and stir until well mixed. For a 1/2c water 1 tbsp starch batch, I added 1 tsp of natural food colour to get that intensity. You can add less for lighter glitter. 🩷 For pink/red I used organic beet powder. 💙 For blue I used blue spirulina powder. 💛For yellow I used organic turmeric powder. 💜 For purple I mixed some red + blue. 💚 For green I mixed some yellow + blue. 🧡 For orange I mixed some yellow + red.
6. Spread thinly on silpat/silicone mats, or plastic wrap. NOTE: Do not use parchment paper – it will not dry properly. Plastic wrap works just fine. The benefit of silpat, if you have it, is that you can dry your glitter faster by putting it in a very low oven to essentially force dry your glitter. Ours dried in less than an hour this way, while our plastic wrap one had to sit out overnight to dry. I found a large paint brush worked really well to spread it evenly.
7. If you used silpat, you can put them in a very low oven or if your oven doesn’t go below 200F you can turn it on for a few minutes, to just start to warm, then turn it off and pop them in. Keep an eye on them. When our started to dry and peel off the mats, the oven fan started blowing it all over the oven 😬😅 so I ended up turning the oven off and letting it dry with the residual heat
8. If you used plastic wrap, place somewhere to sit undisturbed overnight
9. Once dry, you can peel it off, and blend to desired glitter size.
10. Store in air tight containers away from heat and light (colours can fade with heat & light exposure with natural or artificial food colours).

METHOD 2

Ingredients
-rice paper
-water
-food colour

1. Combine water, colour & rice paper in a bowl
2. When rice paper is soft, remove from water and place on baking sheet or cooling rack to dry (our took 2 days)
3. Blend to desired glitter size
4. Store in air tight containers away from heat and light (colours can fade with heat & light exposure with natural or artificial food colours).
