If you like coffee filter art, you will love making these adorablecoffee filter dancers.
These are sweet, fun projects and easy to make.
Coffee filter crafts are some of my favorites!
I love how the colors blend so beautifully.
They would be great as a card topper or as tabletop decor.
Are you ready to get started?
I cant wait for you to make your own coffee filter dancer!
Step 2.Get your markers and be ready to get creative!
Step 3.Here is another example of how to decorate your dancers.
There are so many ways to make them unique and beautiful.
Step 4.Here is another pattern and color example.
Step 5.Cover your decorated coffee filters with water and wait for them to dry.
If you let them air dry, this will take about 2-3 hours.
you’re free to also let them dry in sunlight, which should take 30 minutes or so.
If you want, you could put them in the oven at 130 F for 20 minutes.
Step 6.Make your dancers body by folding a pipe cleaner in half.
The bent part will be the head, while the two dangling ends will be the legs.
Step 7.Get your other pipe cleaner and begin wrapping it around the first pipe cleaner in an upwards direction.
Step 9.This smaller portion of pipe cleaner will be one of the arms.
The arms should be relatively symmetrical.
Step 11.Now, back to the coffee filters!
Separate the two dried filters.
Step 12.Take one of the filters and fold it in half.
Step 13.Fold it in half two more times.
You should have a triangle shape.
Step 14.Cut the pointed end of your triangle off.
Step 15.Be careful not to make the cut too big.
Unfold your filter into a semicircle shape (not all the way open).
Step 17.Open your filter up all the way.
Step 18.Now, pull the head of your dancer through the hole.
It is really coming together!
Wrap it around a few times to ensure a secure fit.
Step 20.Take your second paper filter and repeat steps 12, 13, and 14.
Fold the filter in half three times so that you have a triangle.
Cut the pointed end off to form a hole.
Step 21.Pull your dancers legs through the hole so that both filters are on your dancer.
you’re able to bend the legs to create feet if you would like.
Step 22.Your adorable dancer is complete!
