Would you like a quick tutorial on how to make these cute flowers? Perfect, because I wanted to share with you anyway!
Materials: basket coffee filters (those are new)
mists - Mr. Huey's Custard (from my stash about one year ago)
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Santa Baby (from my stash - at least two years ago!)
Adirondack Color Wash Lettuce (from my stash - at least two years ago!)
brads or twine (brads are from my stash - 6 months ago - twine is new!)
Embellishments: Most are from Webster's pages (last summer)
Cardstock: Kraft paper - that's new!

* Mist the coffee filters and let them dry about an hour.
* Fold the filters into quarters.
* Cut the edges - I used a couple of punches, "points", or "petals".
* Separate the trimmed filters.
* Restack filters by staggering the layers.
* Pierce a hole in the center for either a brad or twine.
* Gather the petals - pinch, fold, fluff to your desired effect.
* Affix to a project!

These are so pretty. I love your flowers. I have to show this to my daughter. She loves messing with coffee filters trying to make flowers. Now we both can make some pretty ones. TFS

I remember making these flowers for homecoming floats!
I love the way you displayed your work. Wonderful Mother's Day ideas!!
These looks like they would be a great afternoon project. Just spray up a TON of them and then they'd be handy when you need one in a pinch. Thanks for sharing!
