A friend of mine discovered Sam’s Club. She came to work so excited and proceeded to tell me about the great deals she found. Then she said, “the coffee filters were so cheap. We bought a case of them for $12.” Stopped me dead in my tracks. I was left with a few questions running through my head like “How many filters were in the box?” and the all important “What do you do with 2000 coffee filters?”
Well, she found a few uses for them and since I was curious, I found a few, too. She uses them for cleaning windows (I like to see outside but that wasn’t what I had in mind) and I use them to cover food in the nuker but I thought there just had to more, crafty uses for the other 1998 of the filters she had in the box.
Aunt Peaches made these incredible flowers out of coffee filters! …..I just knew someone did these things. I could feel it (that 6th sense of mine). Click Here for the tutorial. I think they are awesome. Might have to try some.
Here’s a coffee filter wreath from the Nesting Place. I think it looks gorgeous! Click HERE for the link.

I want to make pretty flowers with coffee filters! I haven't done this since my kids were young. That wreath is neat, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers! I am thinking about trying it, too.
