A little water makes these coffee filter flowers burst with color!
What You Need (to make one flower)
- 3 coffee filters
- washable markers
- green pipe cleaner
- spray bottle filled with water
- newspaper
- vase
- perfume (optional)
What You Do
- Color the Coffee Filters
Place the coffee filters on a sheet of newspaper. Scribble all over them with washable markers. The more ink that goes on the filter, the more colorful the flower will be.
- Spray Coffee Filters with Water
Now get ready to “water” the flowers. Spray the colored coffee filters liberally with water. Watch as the colors run together to create a beautiful watercolor blossom.
- Wrap Pipe Cleaner Around Filters
Once the coffee filters have dried, place them on top of each other. Locate the middle of the circle and pinch the filters there to form a crinkly blossom. Wrap the pipe cleaner around the pinched area.
- Form the Flower
Gently separate and pull the layers apart to create a beautiful blossom. Place it in a vase.
- Repeat Steps 1-4
Repeat these steps to create a bouquet that will last forever. If desired, you can spray a bit of perfume on the flowers so they will smell as nice as they look.
