Here are some more coffee filter paper flowers. For more details about these and techniques used, see the previous post.

5 layers of filters:

6 layers of filters

Basically, the more layers you use for the simple,no-frills flowers, the fluffier the result. they all end up being about the same size space-wise. For what I'm going to use them for, really 5 layers (I need the play around with just 4 layers soon) is all I need. But if I was to use these for something fancier (say if this was for a wedding- like a bouquet, table centerpiece, or a heavily photoed backdrop then I'd opted for the fuller layers).

This flower I folded 4 layers together in half, then in half again, then half once more, and cut out 3 petals. I thread a wire (with the tip coiled) through the inner center, and stacked the filters on one-by-one as with all the previous flowers.

Two petals (or heart shaped petals), I folded 4 layers in half, then half again, and once more in half. Then I cut out a upper heart shape to create a double petal.

DIY Coffee Filter Flowers Part 1

I'm in the process of making a BUNCH of flowers for a diy project that I'm going to be sharing on here once I'm finished. But in the mean time, I've been giving coffee filter flowers a go. I guess this is more for my reference, so that later on I can look back and see which style I like best and how I created that specific one without having to just guess.

First up is a 8 layer filter flower that's uncut. All I did was glue 8 filters together, one by one, placing a dot of glue in the center of the filter and stacking them as I go. Once it's all dry, I began with the center filter and scrunched it up. Then I scrunched up each filter, one by one, going down the stack. I'm thinking about using a little bit of wire, and wrapping it around the outer middle, to completely secure and hold the shape. 

Next is the 32 petal flower. I folded 4 coffee filters together in half, and then half again. I drew 8 long,thin petals and then tediously cut around them (which resulted in a lot of imperfections but whatev...). 

Two different sets of 4 filters after the petals have been cut

I took a piece of wire and curled one end into a loop. I thread the wire through the middle of the 4 filters, one at a time, and then wrapped the long end of the wire around the outer bottom/center of the flower to create this little number!
