If Flowers Were Friends...

Hands up who is addicted to Pinterest? Well we for two can understand :)

So many crafty ideas to Pin and try..... eventually. This week, whilst having a chilled out girls night in we decided to try out a Pin we had come across where by you take roses and slice the stems into four and then place them in different coloured food dye. Resulting in a bouquet of kaleidoscopic colour.


So we gathered the essentials. Food dye, check. Vases aka champagne glasses, check. Scissors, check. Roses....um oops!! A last minute dash to the shop and all we could get were the miniature version :(

After trying and failing dismally 7 times in a row we gave up on splitting the stems. Ok in they go whole, wonder if this will even work?

Over the next few hours we watched over our flower babies. We were like grade A nerds hovering over our prize winning science experiment. There were squeals of delight. "It's working!" "Oh my god they're opening!" "Oh wow look at the colour seeping up like veins." It was all very beautifully exciting.




We think this is one that kids are going to find fascinating <3
