No matter what the weather is like outside, this easy craft can turn your home into a winter wonderland. Since round coffee filters are already the right shape, with just a few folds and cuts you can create a whimsical flurry without even needing to put a hat on. You can keep them winter white or add a swirl of rainbow with water color paint.
Materials:
Round Coffee Filters
Scissors
String (to make the garland)
Glue or Tape
Watercolors
Brush
1. Smooth out the coffee filter until it is a flat circle.
2. Fold the filter in half to form a semi-circle. Then fold it in half, and in half again to create a rounded triangle
3. Using your scissors, cut triangles, rectangles, and semi circles out from along the edges of the filter.
4. Unfold the coffee filter to reveal your one of a kind snowflake!
Just like real snowflakes, each of of these is an absolute original. Use a glue gun or tape to adhere the snowflakes to a piece of string to hang around your home.
