I have some purple silk flowers if I bleach them can I get them light enough to dye them pink?

Worth a try. Test with one peddle first. Or, if they are inexpensive or something you won't use anyway, just go for it. If it does take color out, it may take out just enough to leave them pink or some mix of pink and purple that is so unique.





Another suggestion is to simply paint with pink fabric paint thinned to flow easily.

I doubt it. The fabric that "silk" flowers are made from is generally not of very high quality and I would be afraid they would disintegrate with the bleach. Additionally, I assume you would be getting bleach on the plastic stems, etc, which could bleed onto the flower petals.





On the other hand, you may have nothing to lose by giving it a try on one flowers to see what would happen.





Seems to me the better thing to do is to find the right color in the first place or perhaps a white flower that you could spray paint (with floral paint) the shade of pink you want.
Reply:why wouldnt you just buy pink flowers?
Reply:There is actually spray paint for dried flowers that will work on silks, too. I think the bleach will ruin them. Sometimes the leaves and also the "veins"on the stems and petals are only glued on and will fall off if too wet. Go to a floral supply to find the paint, it comes in many colors. Use it very lightly from a greater distance than you would usually use spray paint. Kind of "wave" it over the flowers and let it mist on more than soak it with paint.
Reply:Don't do it, it will ruin the fabric and probably bleach all the colour from them. there are commerical sprays you can buy to change the colour or you could just buy pink flowers.
