Materials To Make Dippity Glass Flowers

These are the materials needed to make dippity glass flowers:

1. Thinner ( I think the generic name for it is acetone )
Use this to dilute the dip it solution in order to make it become workable.  If it is too thick, the film layer will either break or become too thick.  On the other hand a too thin solution will be too dilute and will not even stick to the petal frames.Do a trial and error to find the correct mixture.

2. Dip It Solution Type A
This is a product of China and the best to work with but the resulting colours are too 'plastic looking'.  Some mixing with other colours might help.

3.Glass Beads
This tiny glass beads will add the sparkling effect to the flowers.

4.Dip It Solution Type B
This is also a product of China and I think have the most variety of colours.

5.Strengthener Solution
You will need this to strenghtened the plastic films as well as a adhesive for the flower beads.

6.Floral Tape
Any type of floral tape is ok.

7.Dip It Solution Type C
This is supposed to be the product of USA as printed on the container but I wonder if they really are.  This type of dip it solution needs a lot of thinner to work with.However the film that is formed is more sturdy and opaque.It has a fragrance add into it so it smells good when you work with it. :).

8.Cutter and Pliers
Any type will do.

9.Wires
Any type will do.

10.Stamen
Any type will do.

11. Gold dust
To be used with the glass bead to add the sparkling effect to the flower.

I will be posting a video for beginners to learn a very basic step by step how to make a dippity glass flowers.
