I love seeing plastic upcycled especially into something so beautiful! 50 years ago I used to make similar flowers with a plastic dip.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I need to know what plastic dip is! Is it what you use with a wire frame?

[@annettegongora156]

@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark Exactly you make petal and leaf shapes with the wire and then dip the shape in the liquid plastic, let dry and then assemble it just like you did with yours.

[@margaritagerman]

I did too!!!! It came in different colors. You could make a bouquet out of them. You brought back good memories. I have such a silly grin on my face. Thank you both Mark and A nette.

Just a question: does this burning plastic with a candle makes any fumes? The candle will not burn outside with breeze, but inside my Husband is allergic to all kinds of smell, any suggestions? Maybe using a mask, he uses when we come out in public with the Pandemic, but anything else you think of to protect him? I want to do those gorgeous flowers for YESTERDAY! De verdad, me dañaste la mente con ese proyecto tan bello!!!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You could do it near an open window. I didn't melt the plastic as much as warm it above the flame until it was flexible. I didn't get fumes with this process but it might depend on the plastic you use and how close you get it to the flame. A cracked window might work with a tiny fan?
