Coffee Filter Watercolor Fall Tree Craft

By Crystal, August 16 2023
All the many beautiful colors of fall take center stage in our Coffee Filter Watercolor Fall Tree Craft! This is a lovely art project, using washable markers to make vibrant watercolors, and a great fall kids craft project all in one.

The great thing about using washable markers to make watercolors is that not only are the colors bright and beautiful, but you can make the pattern and combination of colors however you’d like. Being a fall tree, be sure to use lots of red, orange, and yellow, but we also threw in purple, a bit of green, and even a touch of blue, too.
