A while back I was sharing some misting techniques and mentioned how I often use a bucket filled with coffee filters to hold small objects to mist. So, that got me to thinking....what to do with all the left over, multi-colored coffee filters?
I grabbed a few of my favorite dies in roundish shapes. You could also use paper punches.
And cut two of each size and shape. I used two different sets of dies for these flowers. One in a scallop and one in a more traditional floral shape.
I layered all the pieces and punched a hole through the center with my paper piercer.
I added a brad through the center of my layers. And then scrunced the flowers to form the desired shape.
If the color isn't quite right, you can always mist a little more.
Thanks for stopping by.
