Craft: Big Watercolor Flowers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It might not be springtime quite yet, but I can’t help but make a few pretty flowers to decorate my room! Here’s how to make some of your own!

 

What you need:

Flower-shaped coffee filters (the basket kind), watercolor paint, Q-tips or paintbrush, water, cardboard (for laying the flowers out so they can dry), pipe cleaners, beads

 

What you do:

1.       Get the watercolor paints nice and wet – add lots of water.

2.       Use the Q-tip or paintbrush to dab the colors onto the coffee filters. The colors will run together and be gorgeous!

3.       Let the coffee filter flowers dry.

4.       When the flowers are dry, poke a hole through the center and put a bead on one end to secure it in place. Twist the filter around the bead so it looks like a flower. You can put more than one filter together for a fluffier flower.

5.       Put another bead onto the pipe cleaner (it will be below the flower) to keep the blossom in place.

6.       Make a whole bunch and decorate your room!
