Gorgeous! I was shocked to read how it was made. At first, I thought maybe it was material stained with coffee. Unbelievable! 5*

After seeing this, i feel like a new woman. Must remember to get rid of the old one first though. :-)

Very creative!

I love my coffee (cappuccino) with whipped cream and cinnamon, but this takes the cake!
dangerine says: Feb 16, 2012. 3:37 PM
I missed a step here...did you add a stiff paper back to the back of the corset underneathe the coffee filters before you added the grommets?
deathnotx101 in reply to dangerineFeb 16, 2012. 4:35 PM
No, the layer of filters was built up thick enough that she was probable able to simply place the non-corrugated cardboard under the wrong side. It's most likely the type of cardboard you find under notepads; less than a millimeter thick, slightly flexible, but strong. Well that or something else.

Fantastic!
You need to get in touch with www.deadlygroundscoffee.com and audition to be a spokesmodel! (It's a new coffee company my friend started, and the roasts are almost as amazing as that instructable!)
Nice job!
