Kitschy Coffee Filter Wrist Corsage.

Happy Mother's Day!  Here's a fun and kitschy wrist corsage you can make for Mom with things found around the house.

Kitschy Coffee Filter Wrist Corsage

Supplies I used:  2"satin ribbon, fabric scraps,
tulle, coffee filters (sm. and lg.), water based markers,
scissors, hot glue gun.

Color coffee fliters with water based markers--
the more saturated the color, the brighter the flower.

Lay the colored filter on the bottom of a wet sink.

Lay wet filters on newspaper to dry--
dries in about 30 min. (in TX).

Fold dry filter into small cone.

Fold up tip of cone, then fold up once more and
hot glue it in place.

Use a dot of hot glue to attach the edges so you have a circle.

Voila!  You have a flower!

Attach flowers to a piece of soft satin ribbon with hot glue.
Add accents with tulle.  I used green to add a leafy look.
Make sure that the ribbon is long enough to
make a large pretty bow at the back of the wrist. 
I also added a thin strip of scrap fabric to the
center of the ribbon with a dot of hot glue.

So pretty!

Happy Mother's Day!
