im love these paper flowers. so I started making flowers but I wanted color so I got some dye and play around with it
I got one of these pack of tulip dye that came with every thing at Walmart. Dye, gloves, and a big plastic sheet. then go to good well or a use book store and find you a real cheap book. i find Gone With the wing. nice fat book. but any way find a book with small print is the best. Than find time to prep up a spot to do your dying. cover floors, table and your cloths and wear your glove, you be thanking your seft later. this pack come with bottles. open color of your like empty the pack into bottle and add warm water and put lid back on and shack mix untell it mix up good. and pour the mixer into a low rem bowl.
rip out some pages
put on gloves and dip paper into dye don't souk the paper it well rip easy. pat it into the dye like picture
Me i have to make a in door cloth hanger so i can hang dry them. make sure if indoor to put down a plastic sheet under the hang pages. they dry fast. like 20 to 30 mins or less. some dye sheets need to dye twice. so wait to dry then dye again. some darker dyes you don't have to.
blue i didn't have to and green and yellow i have two. so you have to play around. if you don't want to do dye i like it because it cleaner looking. but you can use water paint. and paint the paper but water down the paint.
when your are done you can make all kind of stuff i making paper flowers. which there are lots of how to's on printest and youtube. i learn on youtube.
