Instructions
- Begin by selecting a few coffee filters, letting their smooth feel remind you of the possibilities.
- Flatten each coffee filter on a clean surface. Notice its delicate balance.
- With your markers or food coloring, dab or draw onto the filter. Mix colors in the small bowls of water.
- If you’d like, use a dropper or paintbrush to apply additional water to expand the colors.
- Once you are satisfied with the design, let the filters dry completely.
- When dry, shape the filters into flowers or layered decorations by pinching and folding the edges.
- To create hanging decorations, gather several crafted filters, pinch their centers, and secure them with string or wire.
- Step back and appreciate your handiwork.
