DIRECTIONS FOR STARCHING:

Dissolve 1/4 cup starch in 1/2 cup of cold water. Boil about 1 1/4 cups of water, remove from flame, then slowly stir the starch mixture into boiling water stirring constantly. Place back on flame until it thickens.

As soon as starch is cool enough to handle, dip slipper, squeeze starch through it thoroughly. Wring out extra starch.

The article should be wet with starch but there should be none in the spaces. Place over mold and let dry.

Crochet this lovely jewelry set in colors to match your bridesmaids gowns. This set makes a wonderful gift that your maids can wear and enjoy on your special day, while having a keepsake that can be worn for many years after.
