Coffee Filter Treat Purse

Create a cute treat purse from a coffee filter.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Use scissors to remove the tab from the coffee filter opening.

   

2. Step 2

   Cut the side and bottom sections along the sealed edges, making sure to not cut on the line.

   

3. Step 3

   Use decorative edge punch to create a pretty edge on widest part of the filter as shown.
   
   Tip: When punching a continuous edge, is most helpful to turn the punch with the bottom facing you so you can see where you're punching.

   

4. When finished punching, it should look like this.

   

5. Step 4

   Insert shape punch into the opening and punch.

   

6. Punch a circle with a 1 1/4" circle punch and adhere to the inside of the filter with double-sided adhesive as shown.

   

7. Step 5

   With the filter closed, punch a hole through the front and back sides of the filter with your handheld circle punch.
   
   Tip: To make sure your holes match up, insert punch as far as it will go and then punch.

   

8. Step 6

   Place piercing pad inside filter and center grommet over punched hole.
   
   Once grommet is centered, gently push grommet into hole from opposite sides to avoid tearing the filter.

   

9. Remove piercing pad, and with the flat end of the piercing tool, push the grommet legs down, away from the center.

   

10. Step 7

    Repeat steps to set grommets in the three remaining holes.

    

11. Thread a strip of ribbon through the two front holes and secure ends with double sided adhesive. Repeat on the back, and decorate as desired.
