This craft was Adrienne's idea and everyone (including me!) had lots of fun with it. Bonus that we already had everything to do the craft and it is super cheap!
You take coffee filters, if you have both sizes that would be a fun variation. We only had the large size so that is what we used.
You cut them into snow flakes, like so. Note Mr. Bear in the back ground <3 br="br">
Rylin making her snowflake. : )
Adrienne is standing at the counter because she is filming it for a tutorial. She is really into making different tutorials lately.
Look at my pretty snowflake!
Lanes!
Rylins!
Next we want to dye them, so we are trying different methods to find what works the best. Adrienne was thinking if we used marker and then got them wet it would bleed nicely but that didn't happen. I thought if we dropped food coloring no them it would fan out pretty and that didn't work very well either.
So we opted for food coloring and water. Here Lane is adding a little more yellow and Rylin is stirring.
Now the real fun begins!!
It is messy but turned out so pretty!
Love the hands on the hips as she assess her latest snow flake!
We ended up ditching the making of the snowflakes to dye and just started dying coffee filter!
As I was watching them, dying a few and taking photos I thought of all the crafts this old kitchen floor has been apart of. Makes me kinda sad how fast kids grow!
I don't have a final count on how many beautiful coffee filters we dyed but a good chunk out of the package. I can't wait to hang them somehow and get to enjoy them for awhile longer.
