Coffee Filter Crafts

We've been busy working on coffee filter crafts in our house!
We wanted to share a few with you!

1. Shamrock

Gather markers in varying shades of green.

Have your busy bee scribble all over the coffee filter.
Spray lightly with water from spray bottle until the colors run together.
Lay flat and allow to dry.
Once dry, fold in half 3 times. Trim to this shape (think half of a heart).
Save excess for stem.

Open to reveal your shamrock shape and add your stem!
I plan on framing this and adding it to my St. Patrick's Day Decor.

2. Rainbow

Gather a rainbow of colored markers.

Fold Coffee filter in fourths and color like a rainbow.
Trim bottom in arch shape.
Spray lightly with water from the spray bottle until the colors run together.
Lay flat and allow to dry.

When finished you can trim to make 4 half rainbows or 2 full rainbows.
We framed a half rainbow and hung a full rainbow in our window like a sun catcher!
