Can you dye artificial white flowers blue?

I can not find baby blue roses, that are not an arm and a leg. So I was wondering if I could dye artificial flowers blue. I need them for my center pieces in my wedding, August 4 2007





Thanks for the help

Can you dye artificial white flowers blue?
I am sure that you can. Ask a florist first. They should be able to tell you without charging. MY homemade suggestion is to either find a HObby Lobby 1/2 price sale or take a bowl of water and mix in food coloring and then dip in the flowers. Dry upside down so teh stems stay the correct color!





Congrats! My wedding is on the 25th!
Reply:Yes... look for spray dye (craft stores etc. ) There are spray dyes designed for dying fake flowers..

Reply:Yes, of course. There's a spray you can get at the craft store. Or check a floral shop, or where they sell wedding crafts - depending upon what you have around your area.
Reply:If the flowers are made of fabric, you should be able to dye them. How blue they get will depend upon the type of fabric you have. Try one and see first what the result is. I did it with a chiffon corsage for a wedding. The flowers came out a pale blue, which was fine for the occasion. Rit dye is available, but my first choice would be to find a silk dye made specifically for natural fibers (if your fabric is not synthetic.) You have a lot of time to experiment, thankfully.

Reply:Dont see why you couldnt...Go to a craft store and ask.
Reply:Actually you can spray paint them. They make a special kind of spray paint for this. Ask about it at Hobby Lobby or Michael's. It is pricier than regular spray paint, but it goes a long way.





Before you spray them, put painter's tape over the stem %26amp; leaves.





It works really well; I've done it a hundred times!
