Flower Ball Class - updated with link

[letumom]

Very pretty. I'm guessing that I won't have the supplies for this one....

Or maybe I will, having now seen the supply list. Remind me to pull my foot out of my mouth later.

[Shirl849]

would never have guessed these were made out of coffee filters!!!

[Kristin]

Even if you don't have a styrofoam ball, go grab some coffee filters and lets make some pretty flowers!

STEP 1:
Take a coffee filter and fold it in half. Now fold it in half again. And again. It should now look like a small triangle. Be sure to press the folded side, you will be inserting it into a punch soon.

I'm here, but late... my parents are moving in a few weeks - bet my step-mom would love these!

[debamas]

Just tuned in..grabbing my filters!

[lmcgill]

Laurie,
Iam am right there with you and your foot. But I do have coffee filters like that even though I can't use them for my coffiee maker!

[Retiree3]

I'm here!

[love2stamp]

I'm here

[doviana]

Ok I don't know if I still have filters right now but I am excited to see carnations out of the filters... did roses for the wedding.

[Sandi0805]

Well, I only have half of the list. I will have to bookmark this. I think my granddaughters would love to make these. Maybe, we could make Halloween or Christmas decorations.

I am here and ready gotta love flowersssssssssssssssssss but i jittery from all the coffee ... oh .. unused coffee filters ./

[writerlady]

So far, so good

[Keling]

My parents are moving in a few weeks - bet my step-mom would love these! Reminds me of the giant carnations I made last week, too!

[Scrapaway]

I'm here, can't find my 4 inch ball, something smells like a granddaughter here , but will be with you!

[Kristin]

are you ready for the next step? you will need 3 filters for each flower.

STEP 2:
Very carefully thread the folded coffee filter into the punch. Because it is thick and layered, it has a tendency to get stuck. But you can do it! Just give yourself some time.

If you don't have a scallop or circle punch, just use a pair of scissors or one of your fancy machines to cut these out. I used one of the EK Success nested Scalloped punches

[1luckymama]

This is so light at pretty! : )

[doviana]

No styrofoam balls here but this is really a cool thing!!

[Kristin]

STEP 3:
Now punch down, you'll have 8 little round pieces that will become your flower. Stack these pieces up and make a small hole in the middle with your small hole punch (or anything sharp will work).

[Scrapaway]

I need a bigger punch....well this will do for now since I don't have a ball

[glo85cam]

Pretty sure I don't have a styrofoam ball but I have coffee filters!
