Lets find how to
make a cute flower using coffee filters.
For
each flower you will need:
1 basket style
drip coffee filter
Food coloring
Wooden skewer
Green
construction paper
Clear tape
White glue
Green paint or
marker
Instructions:
Place 2-3
tablespoons of water in a small dish. Add 3-4 drops of food
coloring. Scrunch the coffee filter up and place it in the colored
water. You can remove it right away for a light color or leave it
in for a while for a darker color. Remove the coffee filter when
ready and squeeze the excess coloring out over a sink. Lay the
filter flat to dry on a paper towel.
When the filter
is dry, fold the filter in half so you have a half circle. Fold
again to make a quarter pie shape. Cut the point off about 1 inch
from the tip. This will give you a ring shape when unfolded.
Unfold
the filter and cut from the center to the outside of the circle.
Cut a wavy line around the outside of the circle making one end
narrower than the other.
Paint the skewer
green and let dry.
Starting
with the narrow end of the filter, wrap and scrunch around the end
of the skewer.
When finished, take a piece of clear tape and wrap
around the bottom of the rose tightly.
Cut a small piece of green
construction paper and wrap it around the bottom part of the rose.
Tape to secure.
Cut
several leaves from the green construction paper and glue to the
stem.
