Do-It-Yourself Flower Accents

Turn Found Items into Scrapbooking Supplies

Design by Vicki Boutin

Vicki turned coffee filters into creative flower accents on this layout. To get the look, fold a coffee filter in half and spray it with dye. Let it dry, then pleat the filter to create a floral look. Accent it with a paper stem. In a hurry? Use a heat tool to quickly dry dyed filters.
