Hydrangea art

Our hydrangea is blooming and looking gorgeous. This is definitely one of the highlights of all our summer blooms.  Can you see why these are Brian's favorite flowers?

We made coffee filter flowers at playgroup one week and that fun idea has stuck in my head. So this week Katie and I made a hydrangea using a similar technique. 



We each took two coffee filters each.  Then I  asked Katie what colors we should pick. She very thoughtfully said, "Blue, purple, and a little pink." So those are the markers we used to color our coffee filters.  Next we "painted" our coffee filters with a paintbrush and water to get the tie-dye effect on our coffee filters. After letting them dry, I pinched the coffee filters in the middle and put all four filters together to make a large hydrangea bloom. See our finished product below with a bloom from our bush.

Thank you playgroup for the fun art idea!
