Hi, thank you!! I can tell you it is very time consuming...but basically I hand dyed coffee filters. The pink I dyed in a soft pink rit dye color and then put them in the dryer to dry, and then I poured coffee on them, to dirty them up, so they would look more vintage, and then dried them in the dryer again. Once dry I crumple up each one and throw into a bag. The other color was strictly a coffee stain to dirty them up and achieve that vintage feel, using the same process as above. Again, throwing in a seperate bag for that specific color. Next, I used cardboard cake rounds of varying sizes to hot glue gun the coffee filter petals to. First, "uncrumpling" each coffee filter and kinda molding it into a petal shape that I like, not spending too much time on them as they aren't all meant to be exactly the same...and then hot glue gunning....for days :-). Hope that helps. Good luck!!
