If you have been following this blog for some years, you know I got my start making coffee filter flowers. It’s my thang. I haven’t made too many in the last couple years, but that is about to change. I’m kicking off a new wave of coffee filter awesomesauce with these multi-color babies courtesy of Pentel.
Shazam. Look at that!
Okay. Literally, I have made more than a thousand coffee filter flowers in my day, but these are my favorite so far. The color stripes are blowing my mind. Best part is, these are super kid-friendly –no special skills required. And the color variations are endless. You could make these with a brownie troupe, or a flock of full-grown bridesmaids. Errrrrbody is going to love what they make and take it home to show their moms. And you can make hundreds of them for under $20. Bam.
It’s that good. Now go over and check it out at Pentel.com!
Yay for coffee filter flowers! I have wondered when you would return to the canon of Friday Flowers. I must try these with the niece. It’s just messy enough to worry her mother about what the kitchen will look like when we are finished, thereby compelling her to make us go outside before we start our crafternoon fun.
I didn’t know the Huffington Post compared you to Citizen Kane. That’s kinda impressive.
For prom last spring, I made a wrist corsage with watercolor coffee filter flowers for my son’s date. After a night of boogeying, kids smashed into a small room, hers was the only corsage still intact! It’s always a surprise to see the final result after coloring and drying.
I LOVE this! I’m working on my little girl’s room, and we need to make a spot for these. I always love the great things you come up with.
