Ingredients
Scale
- 6 coffee filters per flower
- Food coloring or liquid watercolors
- A small bowl of water
- Soft brushes or droppers
- Scissors
- Pipe cleaners or floral wire
- Optional: glitter or sequins
Instructions
- Start by selecting your food coloring. Mix a few drops with water in a small bowl, creating a gentle wash.
- Take one coffee filter and dip your brush into the colored water. Let the colors blend beautifully on the filter.
- Lay the filter flat and allow it to dry completely.
- Once dry, stack six filters neatly, arranging them from the darkest in the center to the lightest on the outside.
- Begin to pinch the center together, creating a bloom shape.
- Take your pipe cleaner or floral wire and wrap it around the gathered filters.
- Adjust the layers to make them fluffy and full.
- Once you’ve shaped your flowers, arrange them in a vase or display them flat on a surface.
