How to color your own flowers

Processing time: approx. 30 min

Waiting time: approx. 12-24 hours

Step 1: Prepare flowers for coloring

So that the flower absorbs the color particularly well, remove all the leaves from the lower half of the stem and cut the flower stems diagonally at the bottom.

Step 2: Prepare the paint

Next you put on your gloves. Then you take glass vases or glasses in the number of colors that you want to use and fill each vase with water about three fingers wide.

Add your colors. The flower will be colored about as much as the water is.

Step 3: Watch and be amazed

After about 2 hours the beginning of the coloring can be seen.

After about 12-24 hours the flowers are then colored throughout, depending on the variety and desired intensity.

Step 4: Arrange and Decorate

Now you can take the flowers out of the water and cut them fresh again. Before arranging them in your vase, we recommend Rinse the stems briefly under running water. This way, as little color as possible gets into the vase water.

If you still need a few suggestions for beautiful arrangements, we have numerous DIY ideas for you in our BlumiMag.
