Preparation Steps
- Take 3 to 5 coffee filters stacked together. The more you stack, the fuller your rose will appear.
- If you wish, gently brush watercolors or diluted food coloring onto the filters. Allow them to dry completely before moving on.
- Once dry, using scissors, cut a petal shape into the stacked filters.
- Starting from the outside, gently fold the filters towards the center, scrunching them lightly to create depth.
- Take a piece of floral wire and insert it through the center. Firmly twist it to secure your flower.
- You can wrap the stem with green floral tape for a finished look.
- Spend a moment to open up the petals, adjusting the layers to your liking.
Finishing Touch
- Once your Coffee Filter Roses are complete, place them in a vase or enjoy them as gifts.
Notes
Store the roses in a dry, cool place. Spritz lavender oil on tissue paper to scent the roses. For refreshing, gently pull apart and reshape petals.
