The stiffer the better

First of all, this product was invented by a genius.  Sure, sure-there are many other stiffeners out there, for instance Aileen's, Crafter's Pick, and Plaid's Stiffy Fabric Stiffeners-and while I don't claim to be an expert on stiffener composition I am sure they are pretty much the same ingredients (homemade versions are just water and white glue!).  What sets Stiffen Stuff above the rest? The bottle.  I know, I know: never judge a book by it's cover, but lets face it, if you have ever had a big bowl of runny goop, that you dipped fabric into, and then had to deal with the resulting drippy mess-well, then you'd be able to appreciate the beauty of the spray nozzle that keeps it on the fabric and off your fingers.  I also love that there isn't any "craft dandruff" afterwards.   Once completely dry, there are no flakes or cracks at all! 

There are so many things you can do with this wonder-goo.  Beyond the standard bows and flowers, you can turn any fabric into an easy to apply (and easy to remove) piece of wall art!  This is perfect for home renters and apartment dwellers.  Just apply the Stiffen Stuff to the fabric shape of your choice, and let dry (or if you are like me-impatient-zap it in the microwave until dry).  Then, heat up your iron, and iron it to your wall.  That's right-IRON it on to the wall.  It won't hurt the paint, and can be peeled right off when you get tired of it!
