Do you want to create a unique and interesting art project with your child this fall season? Then this Coffee Filter Apple tutorial is THE one to bookmark today!
Fall brings a burst of color and a crispness in the air that inspires creativity. If you’re looking for a delightful and easy craft to engage with the autumn season, look no further than our coffee filter apple craft idea.
This project is perfect for young and old alike, combining the beauty of fall with the simplicity of household items.
Let’s explore how you can transform everyday coffee filters into charming apple decorations that bring the spirit of the season into your home.
Engaging in craft activities during the fall is a wonderful way to spend time indoors, especially as the days grow shorter and cooler. Crafting can be a relaxing and therapeutic activity, allowing you to express your creativity while also creating something beautiful to decorate your space.
Craft Supplies:
- White Coffee Filters
- Stapler
- Red Crayola Marker
- Spray Bottle w/tap water
- Paper Plate or Paper Towels
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Decorative Green Leaf
Directions:
- Grab THREE coffee filters per apple craft you want to make.
- Stack them on top of each other and flatten them out with your hands.
- Take your stapler and secure the three coffee filters all together. Two-three staplers along the edge should do.
- Now decorate the coffee filter stack, however you want with the red Crayola marker.
- When you are done coloring the coffee filters, grab the spray bottle and spray the coffee filters down, until the color starts to bleed throughout them.
- When done with the water step, simply lay the wet coffee filter stack on a paper plate or paper towels to let them dry completely.
- When the filters are dry enough, secure your other apple embellishments like a stem {made from brown cardstock} and decorative green leaf, stapled to the top.
- Then display your coffee filter and water-colored apple creations proudly for all to see! #gluedtomycrafts
