Coffee Filter Flowers

What we used:



Cone coffee filters (we only had brown, I suggest white!)
pipe cleaners
coffee stirrers
food dye
bowls
1/4 cup water for each bowl

What we did:
Put water in each bowl and add food coloring. Fold up the coffee filters in fourths and dip in the colors. You can do all one color or dip each edge in different colors for multi colored ones. Unfold and lay flat on a rag to dry. When dry, take three filters and put them one inside the other. Scrunch up the pointed end and place coffee stirrer against the end. Wrap pipe cleaner around the filter and stirrer tightly.

The finished product:
(colors would be much brighter had white filters been used)
