Dip/Drop Dye Coffee Filters

I needed to make some flowers for my wreath AND I wanted to a fun thing with my son so we dipped and dropped some dye onto coffee filters. We folded them up and dipped a corner in and then unfolded and dropped some dye on. It was fun for the both of us but we quickly ran out of space to place all of our creations. Maybe this would be good for an outside activity with a clothesline to hang them on. I think the colors came out great and I was able to use them to make some flowers.

Getting ready to dip. One on table open after just dropping the dye on.

I used LUMA dye. It is pretty old. I used it in college. You can use any sort of watercolor with a dropper. The colors of LUMA are very vivid and you don't need much to get a great vivid look.
