Easy Craft: Tye-dye Coffee Filters!
There are lots of uses for these, but a favorite around our house is tye-dye coffee filters. We took the coffee filters and folded them over a bunch of times and then used the dabbers to make different designs. It was pretty good for strength and patience too, because we had to really press down to get the color to bleed all the way through the coffee filters. As an aside, in case you're wondering, that is marker on Munchkin Girl's arms. I'm not sure why, but she and Little Buddy thought it was funny to color on each other with markers. This has nothing to do with the color dabbers so don't be afraid.
Normally Munchkin Girl gets bored with stuff eventually, but this time, she would have kept doing them all afternoon. I finally had to put a stop to it before Daddy ran out of coffee filters.
I'm sorry to repeat myself so often, but I wanted to say thank you again to all of you for your support on my book!

If you have ever asked yourself questions like, these, then this is the book for you!
- Why do my kids drive me so crazy sometimes?

Love this idea. Hope you don't mind me adding to my SUmmer Bucket List on my blog and linking back to you.
ReplyDeleteStephanie that would be great thx for doing that!!
DeleteI did this yesterday. My paint must be too thick because it wouldn't go through more than 2 layers :( I was so disappointed. I did them with food coloring and they were pretty, but not as pretty as yours.

I love creating items with coffee filters. So many different options. I have only ever just done butterflies with regular markers. Can't wait to try this idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat size coffee filter did you use? These look bigger than the traditional size coffee filter.
ReplyDeleteThese look like the same ones I got at the Dollar Tree. Mine are a bit smaller than a dinner size paper plate.
DeleteWhat kind of dabbers did you use? Are these markers or paint?
ReplyDeleteI really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
