Instructions 

  • Make a stack with the four coffee filters. Flatten them out and fold the stack in half.
  • Fold it in half again.
  • Fold it in half again. You should have a small triangle.
  • Hold the stack together and cut in a curved fashion around the top of your triangle to make the petals.
  • Unfold your filters to reveal your flower shapes. Separate them into two stacks, with two filters in each stack.
  • Decorate your flowers.
  • Cover both stacks of flowers with water and wait for them to dry.
  • Check on your flowers to see if they have dried.
  • The dried filters should have beautifully blended colors.
  • Take one stack of flowers. Place a finger in the center so that you are holding both filters together.
  • Using your other hand, twist the top layer upward to make a bundle. Gently pinch and twist the bottom of the bundle.
  • When you are done, you should have a pointed end at the bottom of your flower bundle.
  • Do the same thing with the other stack.
  • Hold the two bundles together by the pointed bottoms.
  • Flip your flower bundle upside down so that you are holding it with the pointed bottom side up.
  • Wrap the pipe cleaner around the pointed bottom until the entire point is covered with a few tight loops.
  • You can now add a little bit of glue to the pipe cleaner wrapping with a hot glue gun for added security.
  • The non-wrapped portion of pipe cleaner should be straight to form a stem. Shape the filters into a beautiful full flower.
  • Your coffee filter flower is complete!
