Flocking

« Back to Glossary Index

Vintage items that are flocked have a molded plastic, glass, metal or ceramic base that is covered in adhesive and then dusted with fine textile fibers to give it a soft texture. Flocking is often seen on novelty or carnival prizes and on vintage holiday decor, including fabulous aluminum trees flocked in white to create a snowy effect.
