Supplies:
Acrylic Dabber
Fabric Flower
Water (in a spritzer)
Heat Tool (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare your flower for painting. Now I say this because I know many of you may purchase packages of individual flower sections. I like to purchase floral branches of white flowers and use those instead. You can pluck all the flower heads off the branch and disassemble the flower so you're left with many flowers for pennies a piece.
2. Lightly dab the desired colors of paint on the flower. I like to use 2-3 colors at a time but you could use one just as well.
3. After you have your flower painted like you want, it's time to saturate them with water. You want enough water to really dilute the paint and make it spread over the entire flower.
4. Now you just have to let your flower dry...or you're impatient like me you can speed up the dry time and use your heat tool ;)
And here's how mine turned out....
Sooo much fun and the color possibilities are endless!
What a fun and easy technique; they're so pretty! Thanks for sharing another great idea, Roni. :D
ReplyDeleteI love this! I often dye my flowers but never thought about using paint- so doing this! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Roni. Such a good idea to buy white and then colour is to match the project
ReplyDeleteWow, so simple...and what a great result! I remember that you always said to buy white flowers so you can customize them and now I see why! Will have to try this for sure
