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.

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find
Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.
This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore. It reminds me of the kind of art I used to make as a kid—finding bits and bobs around the house and combining them into something that just worked. Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.
What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.
Why we love it:
Made from recycled materials
Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care
A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall
If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
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
