A box of small paint bottles, blue scissors, tape, a spray bottle, and a stack of coffee filters—perfect supplies for making coffee filter snowflakes—are arranged on a wooden table with part of a striped chair in the background.

Craft Supplies:

  • White Coffee Filters
  • Dot Markers
  • Spray Bottle w/plain tap water inside
  • Craft Scissors
  • Tape For Hanging Snowflakes

Directions:

  • First flatten your coffee filters.
  • Have children decorate them with the various markers, making crazy designs or anything they like. Let them just go wild with the colors. The more they add – the more of a tye-dye effect the snowflakes will get!
  • Next, using your water bottle, squirt the coffee filters until they are wet and the marker design starts to bleed. Really get them wet {make sure you have a good working area for this step!}
  • Once you have the tye-dye design you want, lay the coffee filters out so they can dry completely. I placed ours on some paper plates to dry.
  • When they are completely dry, cut your snowflake design out with scissors {just like you did back in those kindergarten days} and hang your coffee filter snowflake masterpieces for display. It’s so easy peasy!

The pictures above don’t even do our coffee filter and paper snowflakes justice. They are definitely more vibrant and beautiful in person.

I hung them up on our patio window with some clear tape, on the inside of the door. I’m thinking next time I will hang some from invisible string and hang them from our dining room chandler for extra fun.

So how are you staying busy this Sunday? Any real snowflakes in your area today? Let us know in the comments section! I love hearing where our readers are from!
