• just like fresh flowers, these stems are fragile and can break if dropped or bent, so please handle them with extra care so you can enjoy them forever

​

• ​choose from several stem designs and select your favorite blank blooms

​

• for the best results + the most "bang for your buck," use acrylic dual brush-tip paint pens - they have two colors per pen and the brush tip allows you to access the tighter spots. amazon has great options!

​

• the stems will come with a protective tape on the back. you can use it as a barrier while you paint the other side, you can use it as a background and paint over it, or you can gently remove it. to remove, place the stem white-side-down on a flat surface and gently peel the tape from the top down. be careful not to put uneven pressure on the stem, as it may snap

​

• ​one aspect that makes these flowers different from others is their ability to be re-invented. If you decide to go a different direction down the road, you can gently remove the paint using a non-abrasive cloth and nail polish remover, then soak them in soap and water to clean and restart. it really is a gift that keeps on giving! 

​

• optional: if you love your new painted petals and you want extra protection, you can spray them with a clear glossy varnish to seal the paint. spray one side at a time and let it dry for a few hours before spraying the other side. my favorite varnish is the krylon triple-thick clear glaze spray - also available on amazon.

​

• ready to style your new painted petals? let's count the ways!

  • show them off together in a funky vase for a conversation-starter

  • create little pops of joy with a single stem in a bud vase around your home

  • add a mini-magnet to one side and display your stem on the kitchen fridge

  • expecting an overnight guest? a painted petal is a thoughtful touch to add to their bedside and doubles as a special gift they can take with them

  • have a special teacher in mind? gift them a beautiful painted petal to hang on their white board for the whole classroom to enjoy

  • the possibilities are endless and there are no rules - have fun and get creative!
