You can color coffee filters in different ways. One of them is a mixture of acrylic paint and water in a ratio of 1 to 9. Dip a coffee filter into the mixture and let it stand for about a minute. The longer you sit there, the more paint they will absorb. Then remove it from the diluted paint, squeeze it briefly and let it dry in the sun.
You can decorate the finished baskets with beautiful paper flowers and turn them into a real eye-catcher. You can of course also use filter bags as craft materials, which can be used to create enchanting roses or dahlias in no time. Another method of coloring coffee filters would be to use water and markers.
First, cut large circles out of the coffee filters and paint different patterns on them, such as zigzag lines or dots. Cut a small hole in the center of the circle. Roll the unused coffee filters to form straws and insert one end into the hole and the other into a glass of water.
The paper circles will soak up water, which will create a great color gradient. Then let the circles dry and then fold them a little to create the desired flower shape. Straws or pipe cleaners can be used as stems.
