Enhanced flower boquet

Have you ever wanted to enhance the colors of fresh cut flowers and silk flowers? Even change the color completely? You can with a spray paint made for flowers. The spray paint is called Design Master "Just for Flowers," and it comes in many colors including metallic and antique gold and silver, bronze and copper. This is a light translucent floral spray that lets the beauty and natural color show through without distorting the flower petals.

Spray flowers to coordinate floral arrangements for weddings, corsage, gift baskets, decorations for your home, or to freshen faded flowers. Flower colors can be combined to give a more real effect especially roses.
