Kid Craft: Coffee Filter Shamrocks

St. Patrick's Day is something we have fun with at our house. So to add a little green around the house we are making shamrocks. Over the Christmas break I found a new interest in coffee filters. I keep finding myself coming up with new things to do with them. So here's my coffee filter spin for shamrocks.

Needed:

• Green, yellow and blue food coloring 
• Small paint brush
• Coffee filters 
• Small pan or container (to contain the dye)
• Tacky glue
• Sticks from outside or store

Steps: 

1. Cut shamrocks out of the coffee filters. I did multiple ones at a time.  

2. In three separate container add:  2 tbsp of water in each container. 

• 1st container: 7 drops of green
• 2nd container: 4 drops green and 3 yellow
• 3rd container: 4 drops green and 2 blue

3. Using a small brush, paint the coffee filters the 3 different colors inside the pan. Let dry

4. Cut two small slits into the center of the shamrock.

5. Two at a time insert the the tip of the stick through the two holes.  Add a drop of glue to hold them together and to the stick.

Then your finished. Put into vase to display the flare.

I love to hear from my readers so let me know how this worked for you.
