Materials
- Coffee filters (easy to find at most grocery stores)
- Water-based markers in various colors (or washable ones for easy clean-up)
- A small cup of water (to aid in the color spread)
- Scissors (for those who want to create unique shapes)
- Pencil (optional, for sketching designs)
- Paper towels or a tray (to catch any excess liquid)
Instructions
- Prepare Your WorkspaceClear a peaceful area where you can explore your creativity without interruptions. Lay down your materials and cover your workspace with paper towels or a tray to catch any spills.
- Decorate the Coffee FilterStart by using the markers to create patterns on the coffee filter. Consider bold colors or gentle gradients, and let your imagination run wild as you draw.
- Spritz with WaterCarefully place the decorated coffee filter in your tray and lightly spritz it with water using your small cup. Observe as the colors start to blend and spread, creating intriguing designs.
- Dry the FilterAllow the wet coffee filter to dry flat on a clean surface. As it dries, you’ll notice the colors will soften and spread further, creating new surprises.
- Shape Your ButterflyOnce dry, fold the coffee filter in half. Cut a simple butterfly shape, or leave it as a circle to create a more natural butterfly when you fold the wings.
