Everyone is doing it......
So can I.
So can I.
I did soak my coffee filters with some dark left over coffee.
Dried them in the oven on the lowest setting. Checking them often. Taking out the dry ones on top and rearranging them for most effective drying. It smelled like a sweet little coffee shop in here for about 30 minutes till it started to smell like a burnt coffee shop.
I folded them in half, then again, then again the opposite direction. Ending up with a half circle zig zag of sorts.
Folded over the end(the pointy part) and went to gluing. I kept gluing until I was satisfied.She's hanging outside in these photos because I gave her a spray of sealer. I wanted a little added stiffness and sheen.

Awesome!! How long did you soak them? Did you have to soak a lil at a time or did you just throw them all in at once? And you said, a LOT of filters...like how many?
I wanna try this craft!! Sooo cute!!
Jenna - about 180 - 200 filters. I poured my left over coffee over the filters in a big bowl. Let them sit for 20 minutes or so. They soaked up all the coffee so I put them right in the oven for drying. Spread them out over a cookie sheet. Have fun!!
Totally fabulous...
Love it! Can't wait to make mine!
