A while back I was sharing some misting techniques and mentioned how I often use a bucket filled with coffee filters to hold small objects to mist. So, that got me to thinking....what to do with all the left over, multi-colored coffee filters?
I grabbed a few of my favorite dies in roundish shapes. You could also use paper punches.
And cut two of each size and shape. I used two different sets of dies for these flowers. One in a scallop and one in a more traditional floral shape.
I layered all the pieces and punched a hole through the center with my paper piercer.
I added a brad through the center of my layers. And then scrunced the flowers to form the desired shape.
If the color isn't quite right, you can always mist a little more.
Did I mention that Glimmer Mists are on sale now at Your Memories Here? Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs.

ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so beautiful,love the soft colours!
ReplyDeleteI meant to comment on this over at IFS but I forgot, so I'm glad you posted it here. I really love this idea! Actually, it's two ideas I love- using a coffee filter to catch extra spray, then using that for a flower. Brilliant! I'm going to start lining my spraying container (aka cardboard box) with coffee filters instead of just letting the extra ink soak into the box.
ReplyDeleteLove it Nancy, what a great tip! I also use the bucket/coffee filter method for some of my glimmer misting. Yep, those are some of the prettiest coffee filters you'll ever see :) It's always fun to see what new colors come from using the same filter for multiple sprays.

Very cool tutorial Nancy! I need to find a bucket to mist in and buy some more coffee filters. I use the cone type in my machine so I'd have to buy the other kind.
