craft - CoffeeFilter Rose
you will need:
1 basket style drip coffee filter
Food coloring
Wooden skewer
Green construction paper
Clear tape
White glue
Green paint or marker
Place 2-3 tablespoons of water in a small dish.
Add 3-4 drops of food coloring.
Scrunch the coffee filter up and place it in the colored water.
You can remove it right away for a light color or leave it in for
a while for a darker color. Remove the coffee filter when ready
and squeeze the excess coloring out over a sink.
Lay the filter flat to dry on a paper towel.
When the filter is dry, fold the filter in half so you have a half
circle. Fold again to make a quarter pie shape. Cut the point off
about 1 inch from the tip. This will give you a ring shape when
unfolded.
Unfold the filter and cut from the center to the outside of the
circle. Cut a wavy line around the outside of the circle making one
end narrower than the other.
Paint the skewer green and let dry.
Starting with the narrow end of the filter, wrap and scrunch
around the end of the skewer. When finished, take a piece of clear
tape and wrap around the bottom of the rose tightly.
Cut a small piece of green construction paper and wrap it around
the bottom part of the rose. Tape to secure.
Cut several leaves from the green construction paper and glue to
the stem.
