...The filters were just regular size basket style.<br /><br />As to the starch, I started with a can I had at home that was about 2/3 full (I guess) and it got me through 3 classes -- about 64 kids. I started a new can for the other 3 classes and still have plenty left. I was surprised at how far it stretched. We are lucky to be located right across the street from a supermarket, so I don't usually panic about amounts of stuff, as I can always dash across the street and buy more. But, I definitely understand your concern!!<br /><br />I did tell the kids there was no need to color really solid with the markers, because the color would run when sprayed with the starch. That may help preserve your markers.<br /><br />Generally, I'd say "Don't worry about too much with this project -- it is really pretty much a "no fail" kind of process!!"<br /><br />We just used SAX brand tempera for the squares -- I think it was Tru-Flow.Christie - Fine Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418114130566362780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370879428515287328.post-91812263371558989032012-02-18T06:17:36.109-08:002012-02-18T06:17:36.109-08:00These machia bowls are awesome.

I have liquid starch so I tried putting it in a spray bottle, but the results are definitely NOT the same. Plus there's no foaming and fizzing to get excited about. So, can you tell me how many cans of spray starch you used for how many kids? I want to make sure I buy enough. And are your filters the standard size? I have GIANT coffee filters, donated by the local Nice 'n Easy shop and I don't want to buy more, or cut the big ones down. I'm concerned they are going to eat up all my markers too.<br /><br />By the way - the squares are gorgeous too!
