Butterfly Window Decoration

You will need:

• Coffee filters (round works best, but cone filters will work if you cut them down the seams and open them up flat)
• Washable markers
• Clothespins (hair ties, rubber bands, or pipe cleaners will work
• A spray bottle of water

Instructions:

• 1. 1. Draw on the coffee filter with your washable markers. Fill in as much of the blank space as possible. You can use multiple colors, designs, and shapes.
  2. 2. Pinch the coffee filter in the middle so that you create a butterfly shape. Use a clothespin, hair tie, rubber band, or pipe cleaner to secure the middle.
  3. 3. Spray your artwork with water until the colors start to run throughout the coffee filter. It’s best to do this over a sink or towel.
  4. 4. Let your butterfly dry. Once it’s complete, clip it near a window to let the sun shine on your artwork!
