How to Change White Flowers to Blue

If you have a white flower it is possible to stain it any other color, from red to green, and even blue. This can come in hand if you are planning a wedding and want your flowers to be blue, but the particular flower you want doesn't exist in blue or is extremely expensive (such as roses). This process doesn't take a great deal of effort and is often done in elementary schools as a science project.

Things You'll Need

• White flower
• Cup
• Water
• Blue food coloring

Instructions

1. Pour water into the cup and drip a few drops of blue food coloring into the water. The more food coloring you place in the water the darker blue the white flowers are going to turn.

2. Place the flower's stem into the water. This not only is going to help hydrate the flower but it will also soak up the blue food coloring.

3. Wait a day or two for the white flowers to begin turning blue. If you notice the flowers are not as blue as you want add more food coloring.

4. Remove the now blue flowers. Wipe the stems off with a rag or paper towel. You don't want the stems to stain any clothing or other items.
