Coffee Filter Books

by Amy on August 20, 2008

Remember these tie-dyed coffee filters we made?

Thanks to all your wonderful ideas, we used them for a colorful banner and made some flowers too.  The favorite use, however, has been these blank books we made for drawing and writing.

I just folded the filters in half, inserted four pieces of printer paper, also folded in half, and stapled the edge.  I also trimmed the corners that were sticking out.  Delaney plans to fill hers with stickers (of course!) and Natalie has big plans for mermaid and fairy stories.

Happy playing!

We made our tie-dyed coffee filters yesterday after making some water color paints. The boys loved it. Thanks for such a wonderful idea.

Cute idea! We actually just did coffee filter tie-dye today, and made them into butterflies with pipe cleaners. This is a cute project for the next time we make these! :)
