Make an Easy Coffee Filter Banner for Halloween
Materials Needed:
- brown coffee filters
- white card stock
- scissors or 2" and 4 3/4" circle punches
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- ribbon
- Download: "Beware" Halloween Banner
Create Letters
Print template, attached above, onto white card stock then use scissors or a 4 3/4" circle punch to cut out the designs. Also cut eight small 2-inch circles that will provide a base for attaching the folded coffee filters.
Print and Cut Your Circles
Gather all supplies needed, cut small circles approximately 2 inches (or use 2" circle punch), from the white card stock.
Fold Coffee Filters
To create a ruffled frame for each letter, you need roughly nine coffee filters per letter. Fold each coffee filter into a pie shape by folding it first in half, then into thirds (Image 1). Attach folded coffee filters to a 2-inch card-stock circle using hot glue, overlapping them as you go until the circle is full (Images 2 and 3).
