Let's get started. For work we will need the flower itself (in our case it is an orchid), AcmeLight Flower paint for fresh flowers, a stick (screwdriver) for mixing the paint and a brush with stiff bristles. It is better to take a flower with wide white petals; the glow effect looks best on them. In addition, when purchasing, check with the seller whether this variety will withstand coloring. Because, for example, a lily will not withstand such experiments and will wither.
Now a few words about how the paint we will use to paint the orchid works. Applied to a flower, it accumulates the energy of the sun and artificial lighting due to the special pigments included in its composition. When placed in darkness, the stored energy is released and the colored object emits a glow.
Let's return to our homemade product.In order for the luminous pigment to be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the flower, mix the paint very thoroughly, lifting it from the bottom of the jar.
Now, using a brush with very stiff bristles, we apply paint onto the petals. We do this very carefully so as not to damage anything. You can also “spray” paint on a flower, using a toothbrush instead of a brush, for example. Those. Essentially, we need drip coloring.
Here's the result up close.
The glow of our already painted flower in the dark and ultraviolet light.
The resulting craft does not smell of paint, and coloring does not affect the durability of the flower in any way.
This luminous paint can be used to paint not only flowers, but also other materials - metal, plastic, concrete and wood (each material has its own type of paint). This gives a wide field for creativity and allows it to be used in almost any homemade products and crafts. You can make luminous: Christmas tree decorations, refrigerator magnets, key rings and greeting cards, photographs of city attractions, and this is not a complete list.
Perhaps this glowing hobby will eventually develop into something more and become your main source of income.
