Hello creatives!! Few days before my baby born I posted this page of my life documented journal and I said that I would post next day the tutorial for this flowers. But then my baby born and I had no longer the time to do that. So today I want to share with you finally how I do this beautiful coffee filter flowers.

I like to use kids markers and watercolors to add color to the coffee filters.
Paint on the coffe filters with the markers. Then spray water to de paint and the paint starts to spread and blend and that makes beautiful combinations and efects.

You can do the same with watercolors.

After it drys I draw flowers and cut them. Vary the shapes and form of them.
You can do a bunch of them and them have prepared when you need to embellish some pages

Create beautiful plastic masking tape feathers

Two weeks ago I posted a DIY about some beautiful masking tape feathers that I've made. They add an extremely success (I'm so grateful for that guys!!). I had scheduled to post this week this masking tape feathers round #2.  I really don't know if you call this tape masking tape. Is a plastic colored tape with 4.9 cm wide.

This feathers are more easy to do because they have already color!!:)
 You have to cut  twice the length of the adhesive tape and half the length of wire. Fold in half the tape.

Then, with a scissor, cut out the shape of the feather.
