Craft Supplies:

White Coffee Filters
Stapler
Washable Markers {orange, green, yellow and purple}
Small Spray Bottle w/tap water inside
Paper Plate or Paper Towels
Black Cardstock Paper
Paper Craft Scissors
Halloween Stickers

Directions:

First, grab TWO coffee filters per crystal ball craft you want to make today.
Stack them on top of each other and flatten them out with your hands.
Take your stapler and secure the coffee filters together so they don’t come apart. Two-three staplers along the edge should do.
Now decorate the coffee filter stack, however you want with the various markers. The more colors you add, the better!
Next grab the spray bottle with water and spray the coffee filters down, until the color starts to bleed throughout them.
When done with the water step, lay the wet coffee filters on a paper plate or paper towels to let them dry. It’s VERY important that they are completely dry before moving onto the final steps.
Once dry enough, it’s time to decorate! First cut out a large “trapezoid” from the black cardstock paper. This will become the “stand” for the crystal ball.
Go ahead and staple that to the bottom of the colored coffee filter piece.
Finally – add some Halloween stickers inside the design. Some googly eyes is a great addition as well!
And that’s it! Now display your coffee filter crystal ball creations proudly for all to see! BTW – these would look perfect on a window that gets LOTS of light throughout the day.
