Coffee Filter Flowers

These flowers are so versatile, they can be used on layouts & cards, made into pins or hair clips or strung onto ribbon to create a garland. They are also super easy to make and with all the colors of Glimmer Mist available the possibilities are endless!

How to:
You will need to different sizes of cone coffee filters.

Cut off the tops to make a smaller flower or leave if you prefer a larger flower.

The colors of Glimmer Mist that I have used below are S.W.A.K. & Caribbean Blue.

Open up the filters and spray the entire inside with your mist.

Squash down your coffee filters & let dry.

Layer your coffee filters and adhere together. Add a gem or other center to your flower. I use a hot glue gun to adhere these together.

I think these are so pretty and I love an easy peasy technique!

Enjoy!

Paper Flowers

Handmade flowers are everywhere, on layouts, cards, clothes, worn as accessories. Whether you're making them with paper, fabric, coffee filters or old napkins (I'll teach you those at a different time) they always look great and can be coordinated to anything you may be working on. I'll be showing you one technique for making paper flowers that is super easy and super fast to do, lets get started...

Supplies:
-Various pattern papers
-various sized circle punches or circle cutters
-edge distresser
-adhesive
-buttons, ribbon, gems, stickers- anything you could use for the center of your flower

Step 1: punch circles in various sizes

Step 2: distress the edges, crumple up the circles, rip the edges a bit- anything goes!

Step 3: Layer and adhere the circles together
Step 4: Add something, again anything goes if you like it. I have used a button, a gem and a sticker for my centers. Once you do this you're done. See how easy that was. Below is a layout I made recently using this technique.


Enjoy & have fun!
