How do I freshen faded artificial flowers?
+9
I have several lovely wreaths whose artificial flowers are sun-faded. Is there some way to "freshen" these flowers and bring back the colors--or how do I re-color them?

Hello, There is a spray paint made especially for silk flowers called just for flowers and can be found at craft stores. I would think you could dye them with spray alcohol ink but I imagine that would fade with time too. Here is a site on how to spray paint them.

Rebecca suggestions should work. You can also buy a Silk Flower and Plant Cleaner which will keep them from fading and get rid of all the dust and grime
Are all of the flowers sun faded? Could you just cut off the ones that are and glue on new flowers?
I just used regular spray paint close to the color as possible
Exactly what I was going to suggest....replace the fades flowers...Can you mix the arrangement with dry flowers that could be changed with Seasons??? JMO
sorry, "faded"
small stones become full of colours when wet. consider a clear spray in a can that leaves a wet look finish. probably in a craft or automotive store.
I agree that I'd replace the flowers!
