How to Make Rice Glue
Jul 2nd 2012, 02:00

Rice glue is used a lot in Japanese paper crafts and the making of kanzashi. The benefit of rice glue is that it dries hard and almost transparent, which is ideal for many paper crafts. Rice glue can be bought in an oriental supermarket or it can be made at home. Here you'll learn how to make it at home and it can be stored in a jar in the fridge.

Edit Ingredients

Makes two cups of glue:

  • 1 cup rice (preferably sticky rice like basmati or sushi rice)
  • 3-4 cups water

Edit Steps

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to the boil.
  2. Lower the temperature and simmer for 45 minutes.
  3. Check its consistency. It should look a bit like oatmeal (porridge)––if it still looks rice-like, add more water and keep cooking.
  4. When it looks like oatmeal, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  5. Push the mixture through a sieve to remove the larger pieces. Alternatively, put in a blender (you might need to add a little bit more water). Pour into a suitable storage jar.
  6. Store in the refrigerator. Use as required; apply from the jar using a glue brush.
