Easy Valentines Crafts
Watercolor Heart Cards
Materials:
- Coffee filters
- Waterbased markers (washable are best)
- Scissors
- Blank cards
- Glue
Instructions:
- Color the coffee filters with the markers. Make sure to color on a covered/protected surface, as the markers may bleed through.
- Once you've finished coloring the coffee filter, gently wet the coffee filter – making sure not to over wet. The water will make the color bleed. Shake off any excess water. The color will drip so be prepared with a paper plate or something else to set the coffee filter on to dry.
- Fold the dry coffee filter in half, then in half again, repeat 2 more times until you end up with the pie shape shown below.
- Cut out half a heart along the paper fold.
Voila!
Use the cut out heart to make your own handmade card or other Valentine's Day crafts.
