Coffee Filter Butterflies

  • You will need 1 coffee filter and 1 plastic coloured clothes pin per girl
  • Using an eye droper and some water coloured using food dye lightly drip some various colours onto your flattened coffee filter.
  • Try to use at least 2 or 3 colours on your filter
  • When completely dry (depending on how wet the drying time varies) take the middle of the coffee filter and gently squeeze together and keep pinched together with the clothes pin.
  • Carefully separate the edges of the coffee filter making the butterflies wings.
  • Using half a pipe cleaner wrap around the end of the clothes pin that doesn't open, This will be your antennas
  • Then if you wish you can add a piece of magnet onto the back of the clothes pin and use as a memo holder on your fridge.
