Create!
Step 1: Lay your coffee filter flat on your surface.
Step 2: Decorate the coffee filter using markers, paints, crayons or stickers.
Be sure to decorate both sides.
Step 3: Have an adult help you poke a hole in the middle of the coffee filter.
Step 4: Put your pipe cleaner through the hole.
Step 5: Add beads to one side of the coffee filter.
Step 6: Push the end of the pipe cleaner with beads back through the hole.
Step 7: Twist the pipe cleaner together.
One side of the pipe cleaner should have a loop with beads, the other will be straight.
Step 8: Use tape to create a flower bud. Or leave it open for a full bloom.
Finally, give the flowers to someone special to you, such as your mom, a caregiver, grandmother or teacher.
Happy Mother’s Day!
