Coffee Filter Foof

I saw the Coffee Filter Foof on the website Jones Design Company. If you are not following her blog you should. I love the clean lines/simplicity of her designs. Well back to the Foof. I decided I wanted to try and make one.

I had a little trouble with the hot glue. My coffee filters were not staying on. Looking back at the tutorial pictures I wonder if I didn't cut enough of the tip off.

So instead I used both hot glue and straight pins. Once I started using the pins I had better luck. See the little grey dots?
Julia helped me fold the coffee filters for this project. When she got bored I showed her how to cut out snowflakes from the coffee filters.

I also cheated a little and did not fill the entire styrofoam ball. See below. I used liquid nails to adhere my hook. I'm hoping it will hold up.
She probably still needs a little sculpting but I can't wait to hang it up in Julia's room. I might even make a few more in different sizes. This one took me probably 200 coffee filters and two nap sessions.
Thank you Emily for the tutorial!
