coffee filter flowers.

I got the idea for these from aunt peaches. I didn't like her method of dyeing, so I painted them instead.  This allowed me to get flecks of different colors of blue throughout the flower, and also allowed a quick drying time.  The basic idea is the same, however.

Step 1. Color some coffee filters in various shades of the same color.

Step 2. Fringe the coffee filters

Step 3. Gather them together 2-3 at a time, fold them into fourths and twist the bottom.

Step 4.  Insert the first bunch into a second bunch and twist.

Step 5. Insert all into a third bunch, twist, you are done.

Step 6. If you want them to go in a vase attach wire or pipe cleaner to the base of the flower.
