Let's Get Started!

 

1
Gather materials.

Collect a bowl of water, your water color paints and a few paint brushes and lay out your coffee filters flat on a work space.

2
Drip and splash.

With your water colors drip and splash the paint onto your coffee filters in a neat design of your choice. Leave enough time for these to dry.

3
Shape your flower.

Once your coffee filters are completely dry, pinch the middle of the filter and twist to make the bud of the flower.

Make leaves.

If you want leaves, then take another pipe cleaner and cut it in half.
