For our Make Something Monday craft this week, my daughter and I made coffee filter flowers (my son is with grandma this week). These were so easy and so much fun, my five year old was pretty much able to do this one all on her own.
Get the materials needed and step by step instructions after the jump:
Items needed for Coffee Filter Flowers
- Coffee Filters
- Washable Markers
- Spray Bottles
- Pipe Cleaners
Color the coffee filters with the markers.
Spray them with water.
Lay them out to dry and watch the colors run together. (They dry really fast in the sun!)
Put on a pretty headband and pose with your dry coffee filters.
Fold the coffee filters into fourths. You can experiment with different folds for different looks.
Pinch the bottom of the coffee filter and wrap the end of a pipe cleaner around the pinched area.
Tada! You've got a flower! Make a bunch for a pretty bouquet.
Have fun!
I will be linking up to some of the linky parties listed on this page.

My daughter, who is in pre-school came home with one of these just yesterday! When I saw it, I thought that it was a coffee filter dipped in colored water. She told me that she used markers for it, and I was kind of surprised by it. Now I see how it was done! Such a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteFun--I love that the kids get to be involved in every part of this.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I am going to pin this so I will have for a rainy day to do with my kids.
ReplyDeleteWe used the same idea in the fall and cut the paper into leaf shapes and hung on the windows. a couple are still there actually :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks like so much fun! My toddler has been obsessed with flowers lately--I might be able to assist her in making these!
