Equipment

  • 1 Pair Scissors

Supplies

  • 1 White Coffee Filter
  • Liquid Watercolor Paint or Food Coloring
  • Extra Paper To Work On

Instructions

  • Color the coffee filter paper by folding and dipping into different colors of watercolor or dyed liquid.
  • Let the coffee filter paper fully dry.
  • Fold your coffee filter in 1/2. Then 1/3 over and flip the other side. You should have perfect thirds. Fold that section in half one last time.
  • Carefully cut the side shapes, the top, and the tip of the triangle. Open the coffee filter to reveal your beautiful patterns.

Notes

  • For younger children, it might be easier to sketch out the snowflake pattern first before cutting.
  • You can also dye the coffee filter paper after cutting the design.
  • Try washable markers and water for a different way to add color to the coffee filter snowflakes.
