Tussie Mussie & Coffee Filter Roses

I really am having fun creating roses out of coffee filters.... I wanted to make a gift for someone, so yesterday I spent some time creating this tussie mussie filled with roses. For materials, I used a cardboard cone, wallpaper, vintage crocheted lace, old trim, vintage rayon seam binding, an old rhinestone earring, old rhinestone trim, and some coffee filter roses. I love digging through my stash of vintage lace and rhinestone jewelry, it's so exciting to find treasures I've forgotten about and have saved for a special project. I always spend way to much time digging and dreaming when I should be doing if you know what I mean. :o) The recipient of this tussie mussie loves all things old, so I hope it is well received!

I went to the store to purchase cone filters for this job and they came in several sizes. Is there a particular size you should buy!

Thanks for the question. I bought the size bigger then #2. I lost the packaging, so I'm not exactly sure what number the filter is. Mine measure about 5" from the bottom to top. Hope that helps!
