How to make the coffee filter rainbow

STEP ONE

Flatten round coffee filters, and add colors in circles, in rainbow order with washable marker.

Place on a gallon size zipper bag or metal baking sheet pan and then mist with a water spray bottle. Watch the magic as the colors blend and swirl! Set aside to dry.

STEP TWO

Once dry, fold coffee filters in half and then cut along the fold with scissors, creating two rainbow shapes from each filter.

STEP THREE

Download, print and cut out patterns (see below). Trace one cloud shape onto white craft paper and cut out with scissors. Attach cloud to rainbow with the glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP FOUR

Trace two cheek shapes onto pink craft paper and then cut out with scissors.

STEP FIVE

Assemble the Kawaii inspired face on the cloud, using the photo as your guide. Add wiggle eyes, then cheeks. Draw smile on face with permanent marker.
