1970s Craft - Dipped Wire Flowers DIY Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- 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 have been looking for this stuff for DECADES! I loved it so much when I was a kid.
São lindas maravilhosas
Me also but what is the nameof that liquid thing
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.
Me too!!!!
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
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
I just answered someone else's post...
Ending w/ "Am I having a Senior Moment?" 😄😄😄
What is the plastic called or where can you get it?
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 used to make these when I was a kid! I'd love to buy or make the dip, please post soon!!!
Fond memories of this from my childhood.
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).
Dónde se puede comprar el liquido?
Thank you, that's exactly what I thought it was called...
YET! I Can't remember something from 5 minutes agooooo.
One of my favorite mediums back in the late 60's and early 70's! Thanks
Hi, just found your clay recipe on Pinterest and checked it out, I am now watching the videos on your UA-cam channel. How lucky are we to have such a talented lady sharing her knowledge and time to show us how to make such amazing and beautiful creations. Thank you so much, kind regards Liz
Elizabeth Turnbull thank you for your kind words Liz :)! I am grateful you liked my videos.
I remember watching my mom and sister make these back then. Cool
Same here! So cool!
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.
I used something called Dip It
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.
Jimilyn Butt
I used to make them then too - I think it was called Dip-It Lacquer
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 😊
OMG! So cool! A lotus flower with this thing would be so beautiful. :D
It's going to be a challenge, i'll give it a go!
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!
Brings back a lot of memories.....
These are so beautiful! Great tutorial!
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.
pufftique Maqaroon CoolRiceBunnies PaperPastels PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS IT'S KINDA BORING AND I AM A BIG FAN OF ALLS OF YOU SORRY BUT IM KINDA THING UNSUB TO YOU GUYS IM REALY SORRY PLEASE DONT RE PORT I DO LOVE YOUR CHANNELS BUT .....
If I understand you, yes we maid all kinds of designs including jewelry (for the more creative/talented. I loved it so much. A friend posted one of her online color by numbers. It was so lifelike the crafted flowers back then.
😳...is this a Senior Moment? 😄😄😄
Vaya....!!!! que idea mas extraordinaria....!!!!! te felicito, que gran creatividad, que técnica tan interesante y el resultado bello....!!!! parece vitral.... hermoso... gracias por compartirlo.... saludos
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!
Thank you so much!! It sounds like a great TV show, I wish there are more craft shows like this.
Beautiful work! Can't wait to see the tutorial with mail polish!

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

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.
The liquid plastic is so cool!
Wow, I had no idea about the material. I have seen it before, and it seemed like it would make beautiful wings but I didn't know the name or how to use it. Thank you for the video, I'm looking forward to the nail polish version.

I made flowers from a gift I got for Christmas when I was 8 or 9 that looks like these.
Felicidades tu método me parece mejor que los pétalos por separado Gracias por compartir
You have wonderful videos, ignore negative comments from unhappy people ...they are just jealous...keep up the good work..
Rhonda M I like those, your right never mind all the negativity other people say just keep on your hobby there pretty...
Where do u buy the liquid? It doesn't say what it is. I had this kit in the 70s💖
Amazing work! I remember doing these as a kid:)
I had a friend who used to make these in the mid 70s. It was called Dippity Glass then.
Wow these would make awesome gifts!
It's sooo cute ! Love the idea !♥️♥️♥️
Love the video and just got my clear liquid resin so going to give this a try...wish me luck...also they have "Dip It Fantasy Film" to use if you can not find the resin.
Where did you find your resin?
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!
That's so beautiful and cute!
Wow! Never knew there was such a thing. So cool * o *
Yes!!! Where can you buy it. Need to make fairy wings!!!!
pufftique, amazing tutorial! I can't wait to see the one on nail polish, I'm sure it will be wonderful!
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 remember these too.
Lovely! Great video. 🌷
My cousin made these for my Grandma years ago in the 70's
Absolutely love this.... But what's the stuff that's being dipped into?
This is amazing , I wonder to know what key words I should type in Taobao that can this dip u are using
Wow, that looks great! ^_^
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 . :(
This was a craft I learned in Brownies as a child. Where do you get the supplies from?
It looks beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial! :D
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! I have a new craft to do!💋
Hola. Gracias por el video. Está hermoso el trabajo. Dónde puedo comprar el dip it fantasy? Gracias
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
What can i use instead of liquid plastic ? I do love the glass look of the flower
I think this product was called dippin daisies...something like that..have had it on my mind since I started working with epoxy...seems like you'd be able to do this with it.
They looks amazing !!!! :O
Sooo cool!
This is absolutely amazing :) you're very talented~~
Very cool!
What is this material called? I'm trying to find it online but don't even know what it would be labeled as exactly.
Ohemgee, it's so beautiful! ^-^
this liquid dip can be found a lot in my country ..any colour..i create a lots of rose for my sister wedding ^.^... but the smell not really good,need to wear some face mask if you make a lots of flower..
Lol where you live in I live in canada
Wow this was so awesome! :D
I understand the product is no longer available in North America because of the toxic chemical TOLUENE, which is what makes it dry so fast. I wish they had something safer to make a similar product with...waiting for your tutorial using NAIL POLISH!
Cool! I'm so gonna buy it from Tao Bao
This is soo pretty! ♥
Thanks for posting
I've done this with nail polish. Liquid plastic dip seems a lot easier though.
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!
