Things Needed For Making DIY Rainbow Roses

  • White Roses
  • Test Tubes
  • Food Dye
  • Cutting Tools
  • Water

Step 1. Prepare Roses

|

  • Choose fresh white roses for this project. Using sharp scissors or a scalpel, trim the stem at an angle for fast color absorption.
  • Next, using a cutter or a scalpel, cut the stem into sections depending on how many colors you wish to dye the rose.
  • If you want three colors, you can cut the stem into three section. Remember, the more sections, the more difficult it is to keep the stems from breaking.
  • For an added tip, take roses with longer stems as you may now be successful in your first attempts but you can always cut back.

Step 2. Coloring Process

  • Now, take test tubes or whatever container is available to allow the same mechanics as illustrated above.
  • When using your test tubes, use a rubber band to hold them in place and close to each other to keep the rose stem from breaking.
  • For the color solution, add 1 gram of FD & C food dye to a hundred ml of water. Then, gently place a section os the stem into different dye solution.

Step 3. Color Transformation

|

  • Allow the roses to stand for a few hours or overnight for maximum color absorption.
  • In a few hours, you will see the color change.
