i have these red plastic/fake flowers that i want to put in my hair, but i really wish they were white. is there any way that i can bleach them or just remove the color somehow without ruining them? preferably with household products. thanks
You can't bleach plastic because the color is part of the plasticstructure. My suggestion, which I use for crafts and scrapbooking, is tt go to your local hardware store. In the paint section there is Krylon spray paint which is made for use on plastic (mostly deck chairs and plastic pots, I suppose). My local store had black, white, red, green, brown, pink, yellow, and a few different shades of blue. Good luck and have fun!
I'd suggest spray painting them as you cannot dye plastic. f they have stalks, leaves or anything you don't want white wrap/cover them in masking tape first. If your worried about the paint flaking off use a finishing spray or a vanish (matte or gloss depending on your tastes) If the flowers where clothe then a bleach would lighten them, not turn them white. I've tried doing that to an old red t-shirt. All id did was turn it pink.
