Coffee Filter Roses

One of the tutorials I have always been wanting to try is Coffee Filter Roses by Dollar Store Crafts.  Mine didn't turn out as realistic as hers, but I do love them.
Above is the orange one before I painted it with the watercolors.
I didn't have any floral wire so I used stems off store bought silk flowers I was popping the heads off anyway.
I didn't do anything to the white one shown so it looks a little more like a magnolia than a rose, but I love it that way.  This was my first time making flowers from paper petal by petal like this, it was fun!  Enjoy!


Everyone is worried about thomas sabo carrier and the recovery of cheap hotels, now our company offers you lucien piccard watches & guess watches, if you buy both, you get one free watch straps box.

  12. My mom and I made these from the tutorial on Martha Stewart...except I found an easier (not to mention quicker) way to paint them...mix some water and a little bit of the watercolor paint in a spray bottle and squirt the roses. We then hung them upside down to dry, so the darker color concentrated on the tips and it made it look more realistic. Voila! I hope that helps someone! Yours are certainly beautiful too though! I really enjoy your blog! I just found it the other day and now I'm a subscriber!

    Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?

    I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

    Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or
    go for a paid option? There are so many options
    out there that I'm totally confused .. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Hello terrific blog! Does running a blog like this require
    a lot of work? I have virtually no expertise in
    programming however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyhow, should you have any ideas or tips for
    new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic however I
    simply needed to ask. Many thanks!

    Hi just came upon your blog via Yahoo after I typed in, "Blogger: MaryJanes and Galoshes" or perhaps something similar (can't quite remember exactly). In any case, I'm delighted
    I found it because your subject material is exactly what I'm searching for (writing a college paper) and I hope you don't mind if I gather some information from here and I will
    of course credit you as the reference. Many thanks.
