| Will The Confetti Petals Stain My Clothes? |
|
| Our Delphiniums Confetti petals & Natural Rose Confetti Petal are REAL dried petals with natural colours. If these petals are used for throwing confetti or for decoration they will not stain. In the unlikely event that the petals are completely soaked in water and squashed you may find that some of the natural colour is released. They are a natural product therefore the shade of colour and size of the petals may sometimes vary. |
|
| Please Note: The Coloured Rose Collection & Hydrangea Petals are dyed and therefore may leak colour if they are crushed, get wet or are exposed to high humidity, do not place them on surfaces with oil based paint or varnish finish. If you do experience any colour leakage you should immediately wash the affected area with a damp sponge and warm water. |
