What does everyone use for a stiffener for crocheted snowflakes? Starch, glue, modpodge? Wondering what would hold up the best. I was kind of leaning toward modpodge, as I have some? I just don't know how well it would work. I do have a box of argo starch as well.
Thanks for your help.

You can use modpodge for stiffening. It's probably better than starch as bugs won't eat it. I might thin it with a little water and dip snowflakes in it. I recall my aunt using a strong sugar solution for some of her crochet projects; not a good idea if you live nears ants.
