Spontaneous Moment #28: Coffee Filter Flowers

I love peonies, but they only last so long. So how about replace the real flowers with something much longer lasting. So here's how to make gorgeous white peonies from coffee filters.

What you'll need:

Coffee Filters

Floral Wire

Floral Tape

Glue (any will do)

Scissors

Take out your coffee filters. Take two or three together and fold them in half.

Fold again towards the right.

Fold over once more.

Last time to fold over. Make sure it's nice and tight. Feel to trim off a little from the top if these are the inner parts of the flower.

Cut off the side of the filter that is folded.

When you unfold the first part, it should look like a heart.

Unfold all of your coffee filters and crinkle them a little bit.

Grab the floral wire and bend it at the top.

Poke a hole into your coffee filters.

Push your coffee filters to the bottom of the floral wire all the way to the loop.

Glue the coffee filter to the floral wire.

Twist the bottom of the of the coffee filters. Repeat steps with more coffee filters.

Once you're done with adding all of your coffee filters and twisting the bottom, wrap the floral tape around the stem and continue down the floral wire.

Fluff out your pedals and TA-DA!

This is what the final product looks like. I kept the background dark so you can just focus on the flowers.

The final product.

Spontaneous Moment #27: Easter EGGS

I wanted to make a little something special for Easter. So instead of making your typical deviled eggs, I made some festive deviled eggs. Not just festive, but HEALTHY.

Hard boiled eggs

My ingredients: Greek yogurt, honey, mustard, chives, paprika and chili powder.

Slice dem eggies

My pink and green eggs soaking

The final product!

Healthier Deviled Eggs:

6 hard boiled eggs
6 teaspoons of Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of paprika
chili powder (to taste)
2 teaspoons of chives (optional)

Peel the eggs and then cut them in half.

Put the egg yolk into a bowl and mash them up.

Mix in the Greek yogurt, mustard, honey, and paprika.

I like to chop up chives and mix those in as well. 

Sprinkle the top with chili power and stir.

Then place your egg mixture in a piping bag or use a plastic bag with the tip snipped. Put about a teaspoon full in your hard boiled egg whites.

Sprinkle the top of each egg with paprika and chives.

Serve!
