- If adding color, mix food coloring with water in a small container and dip the edges of the filters into the dye, allowing them to absorb the color.
- Allow the filters to dry completely.
Assembly
- Once dried, take a pair of scissors and round off the edges of the stacked filters to suggest a petal shape.
- To form the flower, pinch the center of the filters and twist them, securing with floral wire or string.
- Gently separate the layers and fluff them to create a blooming effect.
- Repeat to create multiple flowers of varying sizes for a beautiful bouquet.
- Display your flowers in a small vase or jar.
