Who knew!?! Right! Last month over at Practical Scrappers the design team inspired me to use coffee filters in my papercrafting projects. I was at my local Creative Reuse store (A store that sells donated new and used art supplies) and stumbled across a huge bag of filters and a clipboard. This became the perfect birthday gift for my sister. Shh...Her birthday is tomorrow and it is a surprise!
I created the ruffles by folding the coffee filter in half 4 times and trimming the top and bottom edges off. Then I opened it up and made one cut in the circle so that I had a strip. I ran a line of adhesive about an inch from the bottom of the clipboard and gathered my first filter on the adhesive. I repeated this 4 times. When I was happy with the ruffles I embellished the rest of the clipboard, added an adorable picture of the cousins and finished it off with a bow!
I think it is the perfect birthday gift and I hope she does too! I can't wait to give it to her!
Have fun taking everyday items and creating works of art!
