Non Traditional Embellishments:
coffee filter flower- I cut a strip of coffee filter, did a running stitch on one side, pulled it tight, Voila, a flower.
Coffee filter ribbon--I cut off the crimped edge of a coffee filter and inked it.
Embossed Hot glue--I pressed the coffee bean stamp into a dot of hot glue. Colored it with sharpies.
I think I am going to stick to buying embellishments--this was too hard.

I'm telling DH that you don't want to save any money by making your own embellies! This is fabulous Jules. Where did you ever come up with that coffee mug image????
