    If your thinking of the silk flowers I wouldn't recommend it. The paint, well at least the paint we used worked horribly on the fabric, my friend tried to do this for her wedding, she wasted 50 bucks on the paint and stuff. She ended up having to shell out more $ for more silk flowers.

    Ok, thanks a bunch. The reason I am asking is because I was thinking of dying the white rose on my ring bearer pillow red. But Im soo glad that you answered my question before I ruined a nice pillow.

    You might be able to dye them, as opposed to painting them... My internet is being shady or I'd google it for you. But google how to dye silk flowers and see what pops up!

    Design Master paint works very well on real and faux flowers. http://www.dmcolor.com/



    you can get it at Michaels or other craft stores. I have used it before on silks and it works really well.
