Coffee Filter Shamrock
A fun Saint patrick's day picture to paint.

Materials Needed:

  • Coffee Filters
  • Food Coloring
  • Eye Droppers or Straws
Instructions:
Cut shamrock shapes out of coffee filters. Mix together approximately 2 tablespoons of water and 5 - 10 drops of yellow food coloring. Do the same for blue. Baby food jars are the perfect size for holding your food coloring mixtures!

Use an eyedropper or a straw to drip colors randomly on the coffee filter shape. The colors will run together to make green.

For a litle variation, you can decorate your pin with glitter, tiny stickers, sequins, etc.
