Thread: Painting Silk FLowers

Tweet

I have some red roses in a great urn that I want to paint black. Someone told me that this was easy to do. What type of paint do I need and is there some particular process to use?

Printer I have used regular spray paint. Just spay lightly and in spruts. You don't want to have a heavy hand in spraying and trying to cover them in one swoop. Do them in layers turning them in all angles and upside down to...... and wear plastic gloves.

I used regular acrylic paint (permanent water based) from Michaels on some silk flowers I also got there for my Alice in Wonderland box..



It may have been easier because the flowers were white and I was painting them red, but the acrylic paint took really well. I sealed it with an exterior varnish. Spray paint should also work well.
