Leave the filters together in bunches instead and using spare Easter egg dye, folded and dipped center and edges of filters in the various colors of dye for a tie dye effect. The kids loved watching the filter suck up the colors and blend naturally to make different hues. Once all parts of the filter were colored, they thought it was so cool when they were pulled apart and had “copied” the design onto multiple filters at once. We did this in the evening so when done, we just spread out the filters to dry overnight! Then we finished up the project the next morning. PS I used a plastic dollar store table cloth to cover the table top.

probably we could use left over colors used for dying easter eggs for this! 🙂

So pretty! I’ve made coffee filter wreaths before with styrofoam wreaths. Easy and cute!

Once I learned to dye the filters, I went on to make styrofoam shaped Christmas trees. I cut the coffe filters in half and used a crochet needle (or anything really) to push the filters into the foam. I cut larger pieces for the bottom and smaller for the tops! I then applied a wee bit of glue on the ends of the filter and sprinkled gold glitter! Maybe you could try those at Christmas time! Really pretty table decorations!

You know I love your ideas and maybe even got mine from you! Although all my ‘hooligans’ are grown, I love arts and crafts. My daughter teaches pre-K 4 and they have a lot of neat ideas, also!
