Flatten the coffee filters and color them with markers or watercolor paint in bright shades. Lightly spray with water to blend the colors and create a tie-dye look. Let them dry completely.
Once dry, cut the filters into circles or semicircles, then fold them accordion-style to form a layered skirt.
Glue or tape the skirt around the lower half of a wooden stick to make the doll’s dress. Add another layer for fullness if you like.
Use markers to draw a face, hair, and small accessories on the upper part of the stick.
Decorate the dress with stickers, ribbon, or tiny dots of glitter for extra flair.
Let everything dry, then use your dolls for puppet shows, wall art, or just as cheerful keepsakes of a fun afternoon.
