"Flower Dyeing" is intriguing*
Have you heard the term flower dyeing?
Flower dyeing, as the name suggests, is about dyeing flowers.
Cut flowers can stay healthy by absorbing water when placed in a vase. Flower dyeing takes advantage of this ability to absorb water.
It is also referred to as "coloring flowers," where flowers are placed in water containing color ink, allowing them to absorb the ink and color the petals....this technique is used.
(Cutting the stem in a cross shape makes absorption easier)
It's surprising that white flowers absorb ink and become colorful, and it's amazing that they can change this much.
For example, a gerbera can look like this.
The charm lies in enjoying combinations of colors and materials that are impossible in nature♡
What kind of flowers are cute when dyed? Here are some examples♡
【Flower Dyeing 1】 Baby's Breath
Colored Baby's Breath is now so popular that you can find it in flower shops.
Pastel colors are cute, and tying them in a gradient is adorable; dyeing them in vivid colors is surprisingly cute as well♡
【Flower Dyeing 2】 Chrysanthemums
Dyed chrysanthemums are also cute♡
You can dye the entire flower uniformly, but adding a touch of color in a soft, ethereal arrangement is wonderful.
Using the round shape, it's possible to create the idea of ice cream♡ (You can create various flavors since you can make many colors♡)
【Flower Dyeing 3】 Astilbe
Astilbe, with its many small blossoms, looks like bubbles.
I've never seen blue astilbe, so it's refreshing.

By cutting the stem in a cross shape or in half, and placing the ends in different inks, you can create flowers with a marbled pattern like this♡
【Flower Dyeing 5】 Calla Lily
Callas can also be dyed! Isn't that amazing? Their elegant, slender shape can be made colorful, making them a perfect accent in bouquets.

Flower dyeing artificially adds color to flowers.
With ink and a vase alone, you can challenge this at home*
The key is to use ink specifically made for dyeing flowers. While you might think you can use inks or paints you have at home, if they contain oil, the plants won’t absorb them and could damage the stems and petals.
There are plant-friendly inks available for purchase, so it's recommended to use those.
