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.

Hide glue is made from hide.  Animal glues are made from other parts.  Justin

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
