Long story short, an Etsy seller stood me up and left me hanging on some navy blue paper doilies that I planned to use as my centerpiece base (I did get a refund after the product never came). Emmy sent me a link to DIY paper doilies and here are the results, Emmy!
I would need to research how to get more vivid colors. All I could get was pastel colors. I added more dye but it didn't help. My son had a lot of fun helping out! And then my nephew jumped in an mixed some dye and ended up with green ones. I followed instructions for navy, and all I got was pastel. Solution in comments!
