Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Colour a coffee filter
Flatten a coffee filter on a baking sheet or other waterproof surface.
Use a washable marker to colour patches of colour onto the coffee filter.
Fill the rest of the coffee filter with another shade of the same colour, or a different colour that will blend nicely.
Step 3: Add water to the coffee filter
Pick up water with an eye dropper/pipette.
Use the eyedropper to add water to the coffee filter until it's saturated. This will cause the colours to bleed into each other and mix.
Allow the coffee filter to dry completely.
This will take anywhere from 30 minutes to 5 hours, depending on how much water you've added.
Step 4: Draw a haunted house
Use black marker to draw the outline of a haunted house.
We drew all of our haunted houses on different shapes of hills.
Add window and door details to the house, and then colour in the house and the hill.
Your haunted house coffee filter craft is complete!
Now have fun making this easy Halloween craft in all kinds of fun colours!
