Coffee Filter Flowers Tutorial

First step, find old school coffee filters, you know the ones that went in the pull out basket.
Like these:

Next grab a few and run them through your cuttlebug using these..( which I think are nestabilities)
 (or cut some scalloped circles)
 There are about 10-15 circles of coffee filters:

Next take a fastener (cheap ones, you can always add glitter to it, a sticker, some ink etc.
 You can see if you just put the fastener through all the layers and fluff it that it begins to look like a flower...

Once you put the fastener through and flat on back, then began smashing petals upward...
 I really did this with my left hand however I broke my thumb when I was 8 and it is a tad funny looking so I didnt want it in the picture.
Thats it, you could of course spritz them with ink or leave white.  It also works with papers but you need to kinda crumble the papers first before putting the fastener on.
Thats it--super quick--fun--and turn out really cute!


. Fluff around until you get the flower you decide on...
This is one I made a bouquet of flowers for the card. 



Hope you enjoyed the tutorial and try some for your projects.
Have a wonderful day!
