Fake Flowers Have Come A Long Way Since Grandma's Day
Do you remember the fake flowers that were all the rage in the early 60s
? They were made of thick, cheap plastic and looked anything but attractive, let alone real. If you were a kid at the time, you may have seen them displayed all over your grandma's home. Artificial flowers have come a long way since then, and today you really cannot tell the difference between them and real flowers unless you are quite close by.
There are new materials used in the making of silk flowers. The end product is spectacular. The flowers not only look real, but they even feel quite realistic if you touch them. The only thing missing is a scented aroma, and some carefully chosen spray on scents can remedy this. Although the term 'silk' is used, fake flowers are often made from a blend of polyester and cotton fabrics. Latex, foam and polyurethane are also used to create other effects. Asia is the main producer of silk flowers.
Meticulous attention to detail is taken to make sure that the flowers are close to botanically perfect. In the design process, genuine flowers are dissected to examine the stamens, calyx, leaves and structure. After they have been made, a fabric finisher is applied to give them a realistic texture. To top it off, the flowers are even given slight flaws and imperfections to add to their authenticity. These top of the range fake flowers do not come cheap, however.
Although they are fairly costly, silk flowers have so many advantages. Obviously they can be used in the home, but they have many other practical uses.
