Coloring dusts
are what bring your flowers to life. I recommend you apply 'petal' dust
to dried flower first, then if you want it to glisten, apply lustre dust.
If you want metallic items, choose HIGHLIGHTER
dusts.
Although these items are classified
as "edible" in Europe in the United States they are classed as
"NON-TOXIC FOR DECORATION ONLY"
AND NOT considered edible. Buy at your own discretion
