Coffee Filter Flowers

With the leftover coffee filters from my 3-D Heart, 

I whipped up these super simple and fun coffee filter flowers.

I used the same technique as before, essentially folding each

filter in half and then pinching to make a stem in the center. 

I stuck the first flower inside the top of a paper straw and then

added two more filters for a fuller floral look.

Careful with that hot glue gun on this project,

it just might bite a little!

A scrap of ribbon glued on the bottom of the flower

 helps to hide any odd layers as well.

These would make a fun gift for your Valentine!

DIY Valentine Decorations on a Stick

Looking for some easy and fun Valentine Decorations? Well, you are in the right place!

If you  have any tulle or yarn lying around, wrap it around 

two or three fingers, tie the center (really tightly) with another

piece of thread or ribbon and then cut the loops until 

they poof into a nice little pom pom (you can give them

a little haircut if you aren't happy with the shape). 

I hot glued mine to paper straws to add a little height 

to my Valentine mantle display this year.

If you don't have any yarn, ribbon or tulle, a bit of

cardstock will work as well. I die cut these hearts and 

glued them onto fun brightly striped paper straws.

More Valentine fun to display around the house!
