Okay today is a wonderful Wednesday! I finished a few more layouts yesterday for challenges, but I also finished a cute coffee filter book. So I will let you know how I made it and if you want it simply become a follower and make a comment on this page :) yay.

here's the finished front for you to see :)



MATERIALS:
coffee filters
inks
papers
embellies of your choice

here are the type of coffee filters needed

you can ink them or paint them whatever you prefer. On this one I used inks, both ink pads and walnut and ranger sprays! If you use the sprays and are in a hurry, you can pop these wet filters in the microwave to speed up the drying process!





After you have the filters dry and inked then you can bind them. On this one I used a simple stapler technique, but I have used rings, ribbon, and thread before as well... They all turn out cute!



For my paper, I like to get rid of some of the wonderful scraps I keep on hand! You don't have to but it is a great way to use up the rest of really cute paper! I choose to cut my paper or rip it in numerous ways depending on the look I want!

As for embellishments, you can use whatever your heart desires! Also, don't forget you can put tags inside the filters and use them as pockets!

INSIDE PAGES FINISHED
