Making a Cornstarch Pouch

Scale the cornstarch and cut out the four cheesecloth squares.

On the work surface, layer the four squares on top of each other.

Add the cornstarch to the center. Pull up the corners to the center to make a pouch, then wrap a rubber band around the top of the pouch to secure it.
