Popular Mechanics, a renowned magazine, issued a recommendation in 1929 regarding the use of certain ingredients for the purpose of decorating objects.

The recommended ingredients consisted of varnish, corn starch, and flakes of mica, a silicate mineral.

The suggested combination of these substances is believed to have created a splendid effect that resulted in a strikingly beautiful object.

Flocking, a method of adding fibers or small particles to a surface to give it texture, emerged in the late 1950s and became increasingly popular.

Simultaneously, aluminum trees and other glitzy Christmas decorations became the craze. In addition to this heightened interest in decoration, General Mills, a leading food company, introduced the Snow-Flok home kits that could be applied to the desired surface using a gun that was attached to a vacuum cleaner.

With the introduction of Snow-Flok, more people were able to indulge in the fun of decorating with flocking and contribute to the growing trend.
