Coffee Filter Treat Bag

Here's another coffee themed craft I made for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.
To make my little treat bags I up-cycled some kraft colored coffee filters that I found at a thrift store.
Here's a view of the back of my coffee filter so you can see how I folded my filter to form my mini treat bag.
I embossed my little pouches with the Script Embossing Folder (Provo Craft), and added a bit of heavy gesso and distress ink (Brushed Corduroy). Across the front I added a piece of torn dictionary page, an embossed piece of kraft cardstock, and a twine bow with a wooden button center.

Another wonderful idea, these filters were a great find and I so love how you have decorated them, the combo of the embossing and dictionary page and button with twine is so perfect!
