Ingredients
- White or colored coffee filters
- Green pipe cleaners or floral wire
- Scissors
- Watercolor paint or food coloring (optional)
- A shallow dish (for dyeing)
- Paper towels or a cloth
- A small brush (if using watercolor)
Instructions
- Start by stacking three or four coffee filters on top of each other.
- Use your scissors to round the edges of the filters, creating a petal shape.
- If you’d like to add color, dip your brush in watercolor or food coloring and gently paint the filters.
- Once dry, begin at the center of your stack and gently twist the filters around your finger to form a tight bud shape.
- Take a pipe cleaner or a piece of floral wire and wrap it snugly around the base of the flower.
- Begin to pull apart each petal layer delicately.
- Adjust the petals as you desire, bending them slightly for a more natural look.
- Set your finished rose aside and consider its place in your home.
Notes
Keep your coffee filter roses in a cool, dry location and refresh their appearance with a light spritz of water if needed.
