Most craft stores or art stores carry granular hide glue, or liquid hide glue , Unless you have a drive to be all primitive and make your own glue, or just want to try it , I would stick with the stuff thats ready to go.

PK,,, My understanding is that Hide Glue is made from rabbit hides,, I would guess you could use any rawhide or fresh skin, animal hoofs, horn, tendons etc
