TIME FOR A TUTORIAL

Do you like flowers on your cards but

wish there was an inexpensive way to make your own?

Well.....there is, and I'm gonna show you how

to make a "coffee filter flower"

SUPPLIES NEEDED

**the ink I used is Posh Rainbow Ink**

but you can use any water based ink

you will also need a piece of wax paper and a scissors 

you can use any type of coffee filter and either white

or the tan color ones.  This type is a little sturdier and seems

to work the best.

1)  Punch out desired number of scallop circles

2)  Lay them out on a piece of wax paper and

spray them with the solution of water and desired amount of water color ink

you can spray as little or as much as you like to get desired effect.

3)  crumble them up while they are still wet 

4)  Allow them to dry completely then open them up

5)  Layer desired amount - I layered 3 for this project

6)  Pierce the center and place brad

7)  Cut slits from the outside edge in toward the center with the scissors 

I cut the top 2 layers and left the bottom.

8)  Work the flower to shape to your liking.  I kind of messed it up

and preferred the crumpled look.

9)  Attach to your project!!

Happy flower making!!
