How to Make American Flowers
Here’s a cute way to make American Flowers with a clear atmosphere:
① First, make a flower shape with wire. For smaller flowers like hydrangeas, you can use one wire, while for larger flowers, you will shape each petal individually.
② After shaping with wire, dip it into the dip liquid! Once the film has formed after dipping, you’re good to go!
③ Then, insert it into Styrofoam or something similar to dry, and it’s done!
