You will need the following materials:
- 2 basket type coffee filter
- Red craft paint
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- 1 green chenille stem
- 1 small one-inch piece of green chenille stem
- 1 medium black pom-pom
- White craft glue
Be sure you have something to protect your work surface such as an old plastic tablecloth or newspaper. Flatten the coffee filter with your hand and then paint it red. In some spots the paint will seep through to the other side so you should also completely paint the bottom side. Repeat for the second coffee filter and set both aside to dry.
Layer both coffee filters and then fold in half.
Fold in half once again so it is only a quarter of a circle.
Holding the folded filters at the point, cut both left and right corners off, rounding as you go. When you open them they will resemble four leaf clovers.
Place one filter on top of the other, offsetting so that you can see all eight bumps.
Hold filters together and poke the chenille stem through the center of both filters. Leave about an inch poking through and bend it down to secure.
Holding the "stem", gather the bottom of the flower up into a cup shape and wrap the small piece of chenille stem around the bottom of the coffee filters. Tighten to secure.
Open the flower up and glue the pom-pom to the center. Allow glue to dry completely.
Gently gather and scrunch the flower in your hand, then release.
