Tropical Hibiscus Bouquet

Why

Steps

1. Place new coffee filters on recycled newspaper. Color your blossoms with Crayola® Washable Markers. Moisten filters with a spray bottle to blend the colors. Air-dry the blossoms.

2. Pinch each filter at the center to form a flower. Ask an adult to help twist a chenille stick around the pinched area to create a stem. Arrange your bouquet!
