Pile your two coffee filters into a stack and flatten them.

Decorate your filters however you would like.

Cover your decorated coffee filters with water and wait for them to dry.

Take a pipe cleaner and fold it in half to make the body.

Get your other pipe cleaner and begin wrapping it around the first pipe cleaner a in an upwards direction.

Keep wrapping until you have a smaller portion of pipe cleaner left.

This smaller portion of pipe cleaner will be an arm.

Now, do the same thing with the other end to make the other arm.

Separate the two dried filters.

Take one of the filters and fold it in half.

Fold it in half two more times. You should have a triangle shape.

Cut the pointed end of your triangle off.

Unfold your filter into a semicircle shape (not all the way open).

Make two small cuts at the bottom of your filter on either side of the hole you made.

Open your filter up all the way. Tuck the arms of your pipe cleaner dancer into the small slits you have made.

Now, pull the head of your dancer through the hole.

Get your elastic band and put it over your dancer’s head and arms so that it is positioned right at the top of the dress. Wrap it around a few times to ensure a secure fit.

Take your second paper filter and repeat steps 12, 13, and 14.

Pull your dancer’s legs through the hole. You can bend the legs to create feet if you would like.

Your adorable dancer is complete! Enjoy!
