coffee filter fun!

What are these good for anymore?

I havent used one of these since Santa brought the Breville coffee pot.

Pick a pod and you're good to go! You know the one... anyway-

A friend forwarded me a link about making coffee filter poms out of whiffle balls.

Hmm, I thought. Sounds good. Let's do it!

So after a trip to Wal-Mart, I had my supplies and was ready to go.

It was actually very easy and I got to spend the day on my porch stuffing folded up coffee filters into whiffle balls.

I folded the filter into a cone shape and slightly twisted the point. I poked it into the holes of the balls. To my surprise, they did stay in. Many filters were doubled, so that helped.

I fluffed them open to create a tissue sphere and VOiLA!

some ribbon and a spray of Ballet Slipper Pink spraypaint =

I also had a brainstorm. What if I pinned these little flowerettes onto a grapevine wreath I had just sitting there so lonely.

Now, I think I am going to recommend a styrofoam wreath.  Give it a shot of spraypaint and start pinning.

It reminded me of the balloon wreath idea I had seen on

HowDoesShe?.

A little touch of Peekaboo Blue spray paint and I was thrilled with my results. 

A welcome home wreath for my new nephew!!

Yep, just another day of creative crafting!!

Gotta love it!!
