Supplies
- White Faux Baby's Breath Flowers
- Rit DyeMore for Synthetics in Daffodil Yellow, Super Pink, Kentucky Sky and Royal Purple
- Wreath Form
- Mason jars for Dyeing
- Paper Towels
- Rubber Gloves
- Kettle for Heating Water

Instructions
- Cover work area with plastic table cover and have paper towels handy to protect against any possible spills. Gather supplies.
- For best results, rinse faux flowers in cold water to remove any finishes that may interfere with dye absorption. Leave damp.
- Wearing rubber gloves, fill small container with 1 cup of very hot water. Temperature should ideally be 200ºF.
- Add 2 tbsp of desired DyeMore Color to dyebath.
- Immerse flower heads into dyebath for 2-5 minutes. When desired color is achieved, remove from dyebath. Flowers will look darker when wet and will dry lighter.
- Repeat to create additional dyebaths with desired colors. We used DyeMore for Synthetics in Royal Purple, Daffodil Yellow, Super Pink and Kentucky Sky.
- Rinse in warm water until water runs clear, then cold water.
- Allow it to dry fully.
- Cut small bunches from each flower head and secure into wreath form. Repeat to cover the entire wreath, working in sections.
