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.

Easy Sputnik 50’s style Christmas decoration and more!
Putting beads on pipe cleaners is so easy anyone can do it. So this retro style holiday decoration can be made by everyone in the family. Make a whole collection of these mid-mod stars and decorate a big window with them. This sputnik 50’s style Christmas decoration was featured at Betz White’s blog with a bunch of other cute holiday crafts.
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
