    I used a filter at a lake when someone stepped on a bee. I took ice out of the ice chest, put it on the filter then but a rubber band around it to keep it close. There you go an ice pack.

    I’m a nail tech and I have used a coffee filter to fix a broken nail when I had a client who didn’t want acrylic or gel on her nail and I didn’t have any silk. You just cut the coffee filter a little bigger than the break in the nail put it on the crack with a drop of glue on top. File the nail and buff the top after the glue has dried then put a clear polish on it and voila, your nail is repaired. You can also use a tea bag which really works better but at the time I had no tea bag at the shop.

    When crafting with kids, coffee filters are great to hold all the small components of your craft. 😊

    Great ideas for coffee filters! One year I used them with my 3yr old class to make butterflies. We folded them in half, painted one half with water colors, unfolded them. We had symmetry. Let dry, then added a clothespin, pushing down the middle for the body which in turn made wings. Added pipe cleaners for antennas. Added a magnet to the back. Cute spring project to add to their Mother's day gift bag. Also went with our entomologist theme.
    I'm happy for you that you have a new inside space! Congrats! 😊❤️

    Our artist guild uses coffee filters for glittering our stuff. Unlike plastic trays they sell there is no static cling. Sprinkler glitter over the item catching the micro glitter in the coffee filter. Then pour from the filter back into your container/bag. We use tiny spoons like the small ice cream plastic ones you might get for free. Save these for sprinkling glitter in very small amounts in your craft kit. Also use thin coat of Royal Coat glue instead of other types, let glitter dry then do second coat of glue and repeat to get great finish. Doesn't have as much glitter fall off but you can use hair spray as a sealer. Never blow on your glitter to remove excess. Hubby did that once and glittered his face hehe. Micro glitter is plastic so it has a lot of static cling. We use playing cards for mixing Epoxy because they have a nice wax finish and are the perfect size. You can sometimes get free used ones from local casinos. This message has been brought to you by the Egg Artists Guild of Washington.

      This is a great idea for cleaning my windshield! I have smears on the inside of my windshield from using my hand to wipe it. They’re visible when the glass fogs up. The windshield is at a sharp angle, making it hard to use a cleaning product without dripping all over the dash. Thank you for this helpful suggestion!!!!! Now I need to buy coffee filters!

    We use the filters when we go to a movie to dish out popcorn for everyone. They make great little bowls. You can do the same with coffee, as you do with tea, if you have a one cup machine. I used to do this all the time. Put my coffee in the filter and cut down to size. So much cheaper than boughton one cup bags.

    No one in my house, even drinks, coffee and I have coffee filters. I’ve use them in my outdoor pots for years. And I’ve also use them to cover items for the microwave for many years. But I like to pour the popped microwave popcorn into a coffee filter because it absorbs all the oils from the microwave popcorn. Which I know is terrible for you, but sometimes it’s just worth the convenience. Congratulations on the new space!!

    I use them for drying seeds off I've saved from things like squash, tomatoes or cucumbers. They work better than any other paper product. I write the seed variety on the filter for each filter laying them flat on a plate or cookie sheet to spread the seeds on. It's very important these seeds are clean and dry before packaging up for storing.

    In the craft room, I use coffee filters with my embossing powders. I put the filter in a plastic storage container, then hold my inked paper over the filter and pour or spoon the powder on the paper. The filter catches the excess and it’s easy to get it back in the jar! I can write on the filter what color powder it’s for so I don’t contaminate my powders ☺️

    But do not use them on glass - because they are made of wood and therefor are scratchy.

    We make butterflies out of them. Water colors work great or a spray bottle with food coloring, even chalk, then wet with spray bottle. Open flat paint color with choice of colors, scrunch center together and put a clothes pen, draw faces add a piece of pipe cleaner for the antlers. You can add a magnet and hang them on a board or fridge or string to hang from celing.
    I have used a few of the ideas, pan liners, between pans, catch ice cream drips,

How to color them and even how to tea stain and decoupage. I'm really excited to try these. Many thanks for bringing these projects to light.

I drill some holes in them and then I put the coffee filters over the holes so the soil don't come out of the holes and then after I put my vegetables in I put some coffee filters on top of the soil and around the vegetables to help keep the bugs out of the soil and I put a couple of small stones on top of them so they don't fly out of the pots!!!
