Realistic Silk Flowers - Some Can't Tell The Difference

Some silk flowers look so real that many people cannot tell the difference. Realistic silk flowers don't come easy. They are not actually made of silk but a cotton and polyester blend of materials. These materials hold the colors and retain the applied textures. They use state of the art molding techniques that really give them their authentic look. They use petals and leaves from live plants as prototypes. They also apply highly detailed screen printing to add color and use variations of the color to make it look more natural. Prices and quality do vary greatly when it comes to silk flowers so be sure to shop carefully.
