Filter It

 Filtered Stains

What You'll Need:
Coffee Filters
Construction Paper
Glue
Markers
Scissors
Sprat Water Bottle

This project is endless.
Our intentions were to make window décor for our home for the holidays. We have a large window that we stare at most the day and with our insane cold winter we needed to warm it up.

First color a few lines onto the coffee filter, no direction, just scribbles. Using a place mat, or cookie sheet, lay the filter flat. Using the water bottle, spray the filter until color begin to bleeds. You don't need to soak the filter, just dampness will allow the color to bleed.


 Using construction and a cardboard cutout trace an outline of the picture, image, etc. I eventually made the tree cut out with the middle cut out for the kids to trace on the paper. This will later allow the filters to be used as a stain glass Christmas Tree. We used a Christmas Tree and Thanksgiving Turkey. The Tree we used as a stain glass. The Turkey we used the filters as feather. You could do this for any season, as a stain glass decorative. As well to compliment theme weeks in preschool, kindergarten for bugs, butterflies, shapes, etc.
