How to make an upcycled coffee filter flower

by

OK now this isn’t strictly a “recycled craft” since these coffee filters aren’t used first for filtering coffee, that said I do wonder if you could use recycled ones? Anyone got an opinion on this? Well, if you think this is as pretty as I do then pop on over to Kim’s blog A Gypsy Angel where she posted an easy tutorial on how to make a coffee filter flower.

  1. I think you could use recycled ones to. If one lets the coffe dry and then shake it of (perhaps let it lay outside to get rid of the coffe scent, that is if you dont want your flower to smell coffee) one could get a beautifull brown flower.

  4. Ha. I have been on a recycle kick lately. While dumping my coffee grounds this weekend I pulled out the filter, rinsed it then rolled it in a dish towel to blot. It dried to a lovely vintage brown. Now I have an idea what to do with them besides composting! Thanks
