STEP 3:
Complete steps 1 & 2 three times. Then feed a small brad through the middle hole of your flower petals and fasten. You will have a pretty little flower that looks like this. You should have 24 layers of flower petals in all, 8 from each coffee filter. Use a small brad, color won't matter since it won't show anyway when we're done with this flower.

STEP 4:
This is where it gets fun! Take the top layer closest to the brad and bring it up, squeezing it together over the brad.

Very interesting. Reminds me of a friendship ball I received once, which now gets my brainstorming going!!
Thank you Kristin! You are one talented lady!

Keep going with all layers. You may feel that you're 'ruining' your flower, but you're really not. When you're finished scrunching your flower, it will look like this:

STEP 5:
Now, starting from the bottom layer, start working your flower back down. Keep playing with it til it looks like a pretty flower.

I am keeping half of my foot in my mouth. I don't have a styrofoam ball or my favorite mist.

STEP 6:
From here you can do just about anything you want. I spritzed some of my flowers with some Maya Mist, let it dry, then hot glued them to a 4" styrofoam ball. I used about 20 little flowers on my flower ball.

Adorable! No coffee filters at the moment, but I might be able to do this sometime this week!
