Tye Dye Colored Coffee Filter Peacock – Kid Craft Idea
Today I’m sharing {yet again} another EASY craft to do with your child. I call it the “Coffee Filter Peacocks” kid craft idea and I hope you like it as much as we did!
Simple for children of all ages. Although I did our peacock in Valentine’s Day colors – this craft can really be done all year long. Making this a winner – in my books and I hope yours too!
If you are a coffee drinker and/or coffee machine owner – you probably have all the supplies needed for this craft. If you don’t – Dollar Tree is a great place to grab a pack of white coffee filters and make some creativity happen in your home! {Added bonus, I’ll be sharing several coffee filter crafts in the near future – so that one pack can really go far for crafts!}
Below is what you & your child will need to do, to make your own Coffee Filter Peacocks.
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished peacocks made from coffee filters, on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to admire them! #gluedtomycrafts
PAIR YOUR PEACOCK CRAFT WITH —> Scoop Stick Handprint Peacock Puppet – Kid Craft
Coffee Filter Peacock Craft Supplies:
* White Unused Coffee Filters
* Dot Marker Pens or Plain Markers
* School Glue
* Spray Water Bottle w/clean tap water
* Colored Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
Directions:
1. Fix flatten your coffee filters so it’s easy to decorate. Next – hand over the markers and tell your child to have at it. The more they draw on the filters – the more of a colorful design they will get.
2. Once they have the design they like, it’s time for the spray bottle. {Make sure you are in a working area that can get messy} Have them spray down their coffee filters – making a tye-dye design.
3. Set aside the filters to dry completely. Be sure to separate/hang the layers, so it dries faster.
4. While the coffee filters are drying, work on the body of the peacock. I just drew/cut a bowling pin shape out of cardstock. Also adding a beak & eyes to give it life.
5. Once the filters are completely dry, glue on the body and extra pieces to the center of the coffee filter. And bam! You have a peacock!
Pretty easy, right? If you add antennas to the body of the “peacock” you can easily make a butterfly design as well.
Stay tuned for more coffee filter crafts in the near future! Until then – you may enjoy these crafts that I have already shared on the blog, that used coffee filters too!
