Flatten each coffee filter on your workspace. Then use washable markers to color them in rings or patterns using bright shades like blue, green, purple, and yellow.
Lightly spray the colored filters with water. Watch as the colors spread and mix into soft, marbled designs. Let them dry completely, about 30 minutes.
While drying, cut out simple peacock body shapes from construction paper. You can trace an outline first if needed.
Once the filters are dry, gently press them flat and glue one or two onto a sheet of colored paper as the peacock’s feathers.
Glue your peacock body over the center bottom of the filter and draw on the eyes, beak, and small feet.
Add finishing touches, extra glitter glue or sequins make these peacocks shine even brighter. Now you can display them proudly on walls or classroom boards for a burst of handmade color.
