1970s Craft - Dipped Wire Flowers DIY Tutorial
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I discovered this Dipped Wire Flowers when I was browsing through craft supplies (which I bought through the Chinese site Taobao.com). I wasn't sure what it was called, but thanks to my FB and Instagram friends, they told me this was an old craft from the 60-70s in America. This liquid plastic medium creates 'glass-like' transparency and produces amazing results with wireframes. The creation is very durable, and the plastic is not going to break. Also, the thicker the wire frame, the stronger the creation is. The liquid has the same gooey, tacky, texture like resin, but this one dries in seconds! It does have a smell, but it's not very strong. The extra footage at the end shows when it dries it's just like a normal sheet of plastic. I believe it was called Dip It Fantasy Films back in the days, I will try to source the product and list it here.

I made orange lilies from this stuff in the late 60's, early 70's. I didn't know they still made it. Been wondering about that now that I'm into the different types of clay (reason I found this channel) and making miniature food. I liked the way they turned out so always remembered them. Never scrunched it up so didn't know that it dried like plastic wrap or how durable it was. Interesting video and it answered a lot of my long thought about questions.

I just watched...waited, and never got a chance to try it. Im very good with my hands, so i would of loved it. Even at a young age. Finally googled it, after finding the name of it on Pinterest. I found others who love this too.👍🏻
oh man I used to love this stuff back in the early seventies. I didn't even know they still made it. To read the description and see it being called a "Vintage craft", okay, now I feel old. LoL

What is the plastic called or where can you get it?
That’s the best tutorial I’ve seen on making these flowers love the way you made and shaped the petals and leaves. Thank you for your inspiration!
One of my favorite mediums back in the late 60's and early 70's! Thanks
I loved making these when I was a kid! Thanks for the throwback. I think it's time to rediscover it. My daughters already love other crafts and styles from the '70s.

I totally agree. I don't have anyone to share it w/. Doesn't mean I want to do it any less. 💖
I'm still mind blown by this it is so cool. I hope you can make more crafts like this or just in general. You haven't really updated with any new videos and I really enjoy watching you 😊
These are so beautiful! Great tutorial!
I used to make these when I was a kid! I'd love to buy or make the dip, please post soon!!!
Wow the liquid plastic is fascinating, it dries like plastic wrap! I wonder if it can be used in combination with polymer clay to make 'window cookies' or transparent bits of jewellery.

Ooh, that's a wonderful idea! It might take a while to dry though because it is thicker

I do have a bottle of transparent liquid, i wonder if it will work as a glaze too. It kind of works as a glass paint, maybe if you put it in a small tube and squeeze the liquid to the window cookie.

Thank you for this tutorial; many years ago I had a 70s handicrafts magazine (now long since lost) with this technique described and I've been looking for something about this for ages! Someone told me the dipping liquid is called Dip-it film and it can be clear (glass) or porcelain (opaque).

The liquid we used in the 60's and 70's was called Fantasy Film & you could get plastic molds for shaping the wire into different petals and leaves.

Wednesday Rowan resin is most like plastic,hardest,most resistant especially if used harden .Polish is just waist of time and wire,crap,brakes easy and fast.wood glue is other shit..there is good materials to do this with,with no need to use polish and glue.I like Dip-it Fantasy film,very good amount of product for what t8ny nail polish can be bought,so even comes out cheaper than doing with polish.i think people use polish cos don’t know that resins can be used,just don’t know better products or have nail polish near and want to try it out

Wow these would make awesome gifts!
So pretty! I wad wondering about that plastic liquid. I thought it dried hard , but I guess it dries to the consenctancy of a bag. Thank you! Cool!
In the UK, there is a TV crafter who made DIY furniture, sewing and other cute vintage crafts super popular (I love her!) called Kirsty Allsop and she did a small series on British Craft Shows in the countryside which are a tradition and very popular. In one of the episodes, she showed us a craft from the Women's Institute (crafting nationwide group) which was exactly like this but with gelatine! I tried it and it worked really well and it was super fun but difficult to get the texture right, and I didn't know about that nifty wire technique you used! Love to see you back on your channel- keep up the wonderful videos!

Like Andy M, I used to love making these flowers back in the late 60's-early 70's. I'd forgotten all about them until I saw one at a little independent hamburger place where we like to eat. These were fun to make, and pretty to look at.

amazon its called uv resin dip
How did u make the liquid plastic? The stuff is so gorgeous
it looks so pretty!!! i'd like to try it out but now i don't know if i buy that liquid plastic dip, how does it actually smell? i'm pretty sensitive to nail polish smell. does it smell like that? i'd really appreciate your answer, would help me out a lot!
What can i use instead of liquid plastic ? I do love the glass look of the flower
that's awesome! where do u get the liquid plastic dip ?
Absolutely love this.... But what's the stuff that's being dipped into?
I made flowers from a gift I got for Christmas when I was 8 or 9 that looks like these.
Hola. Gracias por el video. Está hermoso el trabajo. Dónde puedo comprar el dip it fantasy? Gracias
May I ask where the Liquid resin is sold? In Germany we called it Tauchlack but it isn't Sold anymore. and the Fantasy Film from the Uk doesn't ship out of Uk . :(
We made these in an art class I took in junior high. I don’t know what happened to them. It was fun making them.

Wow we just watched your vid on liquid plastic dip what is the liquid your dipping in and where can we get it
Where do u buy the liquid? It doesn't say what it is. I had this kit in the 70s💖
we did this in art class in the sixties! where do you buy this?
Hi can you please tell me what are all the materials you used for this & where do I get it?
I did this as a teen...loved it. Now it's back and bigger than ever...and you can't get it in the US! Only place I found it was in the UK! If anyone knows where you can get it in the US, please share!
I remember my sister doing this in the late 60s. I would like to start doing this but have no idea what to buy. I saw a video that said after dipping, you need to use a uv light to cure it. I have a black light flashlight, would that work? Also I see you are dipping them into colored I guess resin, is that better than using clear then painting it? When I looked, there are so many different "resins" to buy that I don't know what is best for a starter. We used to call it liquid glass so I have no clue what I am doing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
The liquid plastic is awesome....where do I get it ?

This is new to me, I feel like the only person who has never seen this before. What are you dipping it in?? How do I make that? I get the wire shaping part but I have no idea what’s going on with the dip. 😢
I had a friend who used to make these in the mid 70s. It was called Dippity Glass then.
This was a craft I learned in Brownies as a child. Where do you get the supplies from?
Is there a link to the plastic dip you used?

No, it was a thin plastic philm. It could bend a bit when dried, but it could damage if not careful.
