Instructions
- Cover work area with plastic table cover and have paper towels handy to protect against any possible spills. Gather supplies.
- Cut flower stems from faux bouquet and remove any extra greenery or leaves.
- 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 Super Pink to dyebath.
- Immerse flower heads into dyebath for 2-5 minutes to achieve very light pink. When desired color is achieved, remove from dyebath. Fabric will look darker when wet and will dry lighter. Squeeze out excess dye.
- Repeat to create another dyebath with half bottle of Apricot Orange.
- Dip just the tips of the dyed flowers into dyebath to create a ombre effect for 2-5 minutes. When desired color is achieved, remove from dyebath. Petals will look darker when wet and will dry lighter.
- Rinse in warm water until water runs clear, then cold water.
- Allow it to dry fully and set the table!
