Ready for the third and final installment of my coffee-filter fun? Well, the third installment for now, that is. This time, I used my color-misted filters to create faux Chinese lanterns and little paper 'brellas.
Filter Lanter
For the lantern, simply knot a piece of thread and add a few coordinating beads.
Then, thread on your coffee filters. The natural shape is perfect for creating the look of a lantern.
Add another bead or two to the top of the filter stack, tie a knot and hang your creation.
Filter 'Brellas
For the umbrellas, tie a knot at the end of a string and thread a bead for your handle.
Tie a second knot, add a second bead, and then thread two colored filters. Top it off with a top bead and tie the string with a knot. Don't be afraid to fold the filters a bit to form an umbrella shape.
How fun would these look as shower decor, either for a baby or a bridal shower?
Hope you've enjoyed my filter creations. I'd love to know which (from all three posts) is your favorite.
Thanks for taking a peek!

I remember when I was younger, I used to make lanterns during Christmas. It was really fun.
Oooh love these 'brellas. Very pretty & festive & I love the fun colors. Amazing how vibrant the mist colors have become of late? What did we do before glimmer mists hey??
*sigh* If it wasn't pouring with rain here, I'd totally make a bunch & hang them outside.
this is pretty cool I have some time on my hands today I think I'll make a few.
