DOESN'T THIS WATER LOOK RED????

Ok, so everyone knows I'm on a VERY SMALL budget...I've been doing "drive-by's" to every Dollar Tree buying out all of these flowers (still not sold on the vase though..I think I'm gonna buy the cylinder shaped ones instead). ANYWHO, instead of spending more money on vase fillers, I decided to use water and PINK food color. I bought some from the grocery store and it said "NEON PINK"...but it looks EXACTLY like PURE RED! I started with 1 drop...and it looked like a lighter shade of red....then 3 drops...STILL RED....then 5 MORE DROPS! It looks even REDDER!! I may have to wait until Easter for for the little pill like thingys they have in the egg coloring kits. PLEASE let me know if any of you know of some DECENT food coloring or even CHEAP vase fillers. THANKS A BUNCHES!!!

That is looking red, but its hot.  Try elimating some of the red water and add some pink drops to it. If you don't have pink, I wonder if you can do a lighter trial with the one-two drops instead of 5.   There is another trick you might can dry is using red jello!  Red jello water was used for a friends bridal shower and just a tab of it was used to make it a shade of pink, but she used the water gels (beads)...

Another idea!  How about some RIT dye in dark pink!  You can use that powder as well! Just a tab...

Thank you geena1369! :-)
Thank you ourrenewalsagain!! Those are GREAT IDEAS! I forgot all about RIT! That's what I may use! I even thought about using KOOL-AID! lol This wasn't RED food color...it's actually NEON PINK...and it looks NOTHING LIKE IT! They REALLY need to change the name...that's how red it was. I'm gonna experiment with the RIT tonight and see what happens. I'll let you know! Thanks again!
