Amazingly beautiful decorative objects can be made by a method comprising the steps of (1) producing a chemically pure, over-saturated solution of potassium aluminosilicate, (2) coating substrates to be decorated with flock, (3) introducing the substrates into the solution, (4) removing the substrates from the solution after crystals have grown on the substrates, (5) drying the crystals, (6) coating the crystals with a transparent brilliant liquid plastic, and, optionally, (7) dyeing the plastic, either before or after it has dried. Alternatively, dye may be introduced directly into the solution.
