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.

This DIY Board Game Table Made Me Want to Dust Off My Cricut
You know that feeling when you see a project and instantly start mentally rearranging your whole weekend to fit it in? That was me with The Carpenter’s Daughter’s DIY Board Game Table tutorial. I mean, it’s so good. Functional, stylish, and honestly—such a conversation starter.
It’s the kind of piece that looks high-end, but she breaks it down step-by-step in a way that makes it totally achievable, even if you’re not a woodworking wizard. And if you’ve got a Cricut machine (like I do, gathering dust in the corner), this is your cue to plug it in and actually use it. She used hers to create the game board top, and it adds such a clean, custom finish.
I never really thought about how handy a built-in game board could be—no more shuffling Monopoly pieces off the kitchen table when it’s time for dinner! It’s perfect for families, game nights with friends, or even just a cool coffee table alternative with a little hidden fun.
What I Love About This Project:
It doubles as a gorgeous piece of furniture.
You can totally customize the games—checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, you name it.
It’s an awesome way to up your Cricut game (seriously, I’ve been inspired).
And let’s be honest—it’s a great excuse to get crafty and competitive.
If you’re looking for a project with style and function, check out the full tutorial here. Fair warning though—you’ll probably end up wanting to make more than one.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to charge my Cricut and pretend I know how to play chess again…
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.
Kim always has the best ideas for cards and tags! This flower is beautiful!

Unused coffee filter is prettier than the used one. Bur the output from the recycled product has its own beauty. 🙂
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
