Flowers for Mother's Day

Today we finished this paper flowers

how pretty they came out

ready for Mommy or Grandma

for Mother's Day :)

First we took a coffee filter

folded 3 times

then we used food coloring

just a few drops of different colors here and there

teaching my daughter at the same time

that this little bottles don't need to be squeezed :)

After she finished putting all the color drops

we wet it with a brush

then we got a towell ready

and opened it slowly do it doesn't break

we let it dry overnight

colors become bright the next day


once is dry
we take it in our hands and wrinkle
the middle of the coffee filter to form the flower
and to hold it together we used pipecleaners
just wrap it around a few times
and that becomes the stem of the flower




here is the final result :)

We'll be also trying to color the coffee filters
with watercolor pencils and
markers and water to blend the colors
