Whether you want to add some feminine flare to a side table, dinning table or bathroom, these coffee filter peony flowers are striking and inexpensive. Group a mix of colours for that extra punch or keep it simple and leave them white.


What You Will Need:

Working with one coffee filter at a time, fold it in half, quarters, eighths and sixteenths. Cut a rounded edge on the end of the filter.


Unfold the filter and you will have a nice scalloped filter.


Take one floral wire and wind it a few times around your pencil.


Remove from the pencil and flatten. Thread your scalloped filters onto the end and push together.


Group the filters and secure with a dab of glue and floral tape, wrapped tightly around the wire and filters.


If you want to colour your flowers, simply mix up some food colouring in a bowl and dip the flowers half way. Let them dry on a piece of parchment paper.


When the filters are completely dry, fluff out the edges and cut the wires to your desired length. Arrange them in a vase or container of your choosing.


Each flower takes approximately 7 minutes to make and the cost is remarkably low per flower. I will be making some more for a bare shelf in my bathroom!
