If you cant find artificial florals in the colors you need, paint them!
This tutorial shows you how to spray paint fake flowers in minutes.
No special floral spray paint required.
It will work well if you follow that advice.
I love real plants, but they dont last around this house.
Something about having to remember to water them always causes an issue.
Artificial flowers are one way to spruce up a room but sometimes you cant find the colors you need.
Why not paint them?
Dust the blooms or wipe them lightly with a wet paper towel.
Apparently it goes on very light.
My two colors were Rustoleum in a shade of orange-y red and then white for an accent.
The Rustoleum worked VERY well!
My personal opinion you dont need floral spray paint for a project like this.
But for what I did, regular spray paint worked just fine.
Ill leave that up to you.
Are you ready to dive in?
Heres how to paint fake flowers!
Use the main spray paint color to completely cover the flower petals.
Its better to work slowly, adding several light coats and letting dry in between.
Allow about 15 20 minutes to dry before flipping the flowers over and spraying the other side with paint.
Keep rotating and spraying the flowers until they are completely covered.
To add the accent dimension, take your second color of spray paint and randomly spritz the petals.
Youre going to love how this gives the flowers a nice highlighted look.
Leave the flowers outside to fully dry and air out for at least 2 3 hours.
Just remember not to let them dry in wet spray paint!
This will cause the blooms to stick to the poster board, which you obviously dont want.
The flowers in the above photo are what the bouquet looked like before paint.
Sad and kinda gross.
This is what they look like after much better!
Place them in a lovely vase to showcase your creative awesomeness.
With a little spray paint, they were revived to a more modern display.
Now you are empowered to spray paint fake flowers yourself!
