Hi Angie – there are alot of factors on that. IE – how drenched the coffee filters are with water, where you lay them to dry, what you lay them on to dry… If you only have an hour, I don’t think that would be long enough time though

I would love to do this project with my son’s preschool class, but the Halloween party is only an hour long. How long does it take for the coffee filters to dry so that the faces can be glued on?
