About this video
Craft Stores: Suburban Head Shops With Floral Tape is a retro‑hilarious tribute to growing up with a mom who treated every craft trend like a controlled substance. From Plaster of Paris pendants to decoupage masterpieces to double‑boiler chocolate alchemy, the essay follows a childhood spent as the unpaid apprentice to a woman powered entirely by Mod Podge and determination. But the star of the show is Fun Film—that psychedelic, nail‑polish‑adjacent goo that turned floral wire into trippy plastic blossoms and every kitchen into a low‑budget chemistry lab. With floral tape as the binding agent and a contact high as the bonus prize, Mom’s creations were impressive, chaotic, and occasionally fundraiser‑worthy. And then there was the craft store itself: her personal head shop, where she’d go to score Fun Film, styrofoam, or whatever new fix her latest project required. Meanwhile, the narrator just tried to keep up—and avoid inhaling too deeply. If you love nostalgic mischief, DIY fever dreams, and the mythic Americana of 70s craft culture, this one hits the sweet spot.
