How To Make A DIY Bleach Gel Pen
You’ll need:
- 1 cup water
- 2-4 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/3 cup liquid bleach
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Glass measuring cup
- Squeeze bottle
Directions:
Add the water and about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to the saucepan. (Feel free to use slightly more if you want a thicker gel, or slightly less if you want it to be on the thin/watery side.) Whisk the mixture until the cornstarch has dissolved completely.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking continuously, until the mixture comes to a boil. Make sure to keep whisking as it heats, or the mixture will quickly turn into a gloopy mess!
Remove the pan from heat and pour the thickened gel mixture into a heat-safe glass measuring cup to cool completely. Once cooled, add the bleach, stir well, then pour the finished bleach gel into a squeeze bottle.
