Can I attach silk flowers to fabric using fusible web?

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010 and filed under silk flowers | 2 Comments »

I have a Christmas sweatshirt with silk poinsettas fused onto it but can’t figure out how it was done.
How is this done if using the fusible web without getting it all over the iron?

You may want to use a product called Heat and Bond, sold at fabric stores. This product is a breeze to use. First, you iron this product onto the fabric, then cut out your shape, then iron that shape onto the garment. It really is as easy as that.

Heat and Bond comes in several weights, so be sure you select the correct weight and follow the directions. You will be amazed at the results and it is totally washable, too.

Happy Holidays.

How can I dye ivory silk flowers to blueish and tan using koolaid?

Posted by admin on March 8th, 2010 and filed under silk flowers | 2 Comments »

I would like to dye the flowers for my wedding in Oct. thank you.

I dont know if i would use koolaid. Who knows what kind of bugs would be attracted to your sugarey flowers. You would probably be better off getting a real dye or buying blue flowers in the first place. Koolaid may dye unevenly or not give you the color you want.

(PS- you may post this on the wedding answer board. You could get some great dying tips over there)

How can I store my silk flowers without crushing them?

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under silk flowers | 4 Comments »

I am beginning to make flower arrangements and need a safe way to store the flowers that aren’t yet in arrangements so they won’t get crushed. Some flowers will snap back but some won’t, I don’t want to find out if mine will or not as some of them are a little expensive. I currently have them loosley stored in stacked boxes inside a small walk-in closet. I would like a way I can store them upright where I can see them and not have them all smushed together. Thanks!

what about the way they are displayed in the stores, Make a chicken wire screen column and stick them in it . That way you can organize them by color and size.

Know a great website to buy silk flowers for a wedding?

Posted by admin on March 2nd, 2010 and filed under silk flowers | 5 Comments »

My wedding is in 3 months, and I’m looking at buying silks for the attendant bouquets, my bridal bouquet, some altar and centerpieces, and flower girl petals. I’ve looked into a few websites, but wanted to see if anyone has personal experience before making my decision. I’m looking for pre-arranged bouquets.

Aw congrats on being married in 3 months. You must be so excited!

Here are a few Ebay and other sites I’ve found, I’m not sure if they are what you wanted exactly it’s just what i’ve found.

know of any wholesaler of Silk flowers in the USA?

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010 and filed under silk flowers | 2 Comments »

Hi, i am trying to collect as much possible resources for wholesalers of silk flowers and artificial flowers

know of any?

please help :)

+ There is a store in my area that sells a lot of silk and permanent flower called Micheals. They also sell art supplies and custom picture frames. They would probably sell wholesale if you had steady orders or very large orders and send direct from their warehouse.
