My friend's grandmother used to buy it, believe it or not, at an animal feed store in Southern California. The flowers were made like this: You took very thin bendable wire and formed the flower petals by bending the wire. Then you would dip the wire into some type of liquid plastic and pull it out and the liquid would sort of gel and would fill in the petals and would be completely dry in about 30 minutes. What you would have was a wire flower outline with hardened (not brittle) rubbery see-through colored plastic that would make the petals. I don't know how else to describe it. I do not know if the materials were part of a kit or if you bought them indiviually. Does anyone have any idea of what this craft is called or remember anything like this? Any help would be great!
I am seeking a type of craft flower making that a friend showed me back in the late 1960's in grade school.
I made those once, I remember buying a kit. I had forgotten what they were called, but I found a link with a discussion about them that you will find interesting. Apparently you can get a version of them at Michaels.

One name for it is Dip-It Fantasy film.
Here's a site in the UK. It's a start...

Reply:I saw something very similar to that at Hobby Lobby in their craft kits isle. I'm not certain that it is exactly what you are looking for, but it's worth looking into.
Good Luck
