Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by taking a few coffee filters and laying them flat on your work surface. Notice their texture and fragile nature.
- If you wish to add color, dip the edges of the coffee filters in a bowl of water mixed with food coloring or use water-based markers to draw softly onto the surfaces. Watch the colors blend and bleed delightfully.
- Once you’re satisfied with the colors, allow the filters to dry completely.
Crafting
- Once dry, stack several colors together and gently pinch the center of the stack to create a layered look.
- Cut the edges with soft curves or points to create interesting shapes.
- Use glue to secure the layers together, pressing gently.
- If you would like to hang your creation, attach a piece of string or twine to the top and knot it gently.
- Find a lovely place to display your crafted piece, be it on a windowsill or as a centerpiece.
Notes
Store coffee filter crafts in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to keep the colors vibrant. Reuse your crafts to breathe new life into them as you revisit and alter designs.
