There must be fifty ways to use basket coffee filters but this is my favourite inspired by Aunt Peaches.
The rose shown is about 6 inches in diameter using five filters. For this DIY I used acrylic paint orange and red. Just remember when you start out with a white filter you will end up with a pastel flower using my colouring method. If you want to have a red rose the only method I've found that works is a fabric dye.
I tweaked Miss Peaches method by cutting a slice in the first two filters as seen below.
I then made a cone out of some light card stock junk mail and rolled the darkest filter around the cone to simulate the rose centre and twisted the bottom to hold the shape and then wrapped the second cut filter around the first filter. For the next three filters all you do is poke a small hole in the centre and slide the filters one by one over the previous filter making a twist to complete each filter row.
I'll provide you with all my tips and tricks in the DIY section on the weekend.
