Depending on your brand of acrylic paint, these suggested...

@@NCPalos Thank you, I went to this site and ordered $30.00 worth of flowers!
its the best! i have so many flowers I am doing my wedding they all arrived this week it took about 3-4 weeks for them to come in. And now the fun begins!
@@NCPalos Congratulations on your wedding! If you need help with the wedding boquet, maybe I can help. I am a floral designer.
I'll remember this, lol .... last night I was just playing with the stemming I used the wire stems it came with and even though I didn't use glue cause I was just testing it out it didn't seem sturdy. I could just be overthinking it. Or just anxious to get started. I think my biggest hurdle will be the stemming and the storage. Someone recommend storage containers. My wedding isnt till May of next year so I still have time but I want to get as big of a head start as possible.
have you dye the flowers with skin on them before.
Do you buy the flowers "raw " ?
popies5 that’s what I want to know
*Made from organic material (Sola wood) not natural flowers. But dang, Sola sister, you've got this Sola fluffing down to a science! Great video! ❤️ ( Using hubby's phone 😂)
MrJoshclipse lol yeah sorry if I got that messed up- definitely wood flowers not natural flowers!!!! :) thanks for the correction
