Since the coffee filters take just a bit longer, we start with them. Paint the coffee filters with watercolors in whatever pattern you’d like, blending lots of reds, purples, and blues. Set aside to dry.

Now, use acrylic paint to paint the paper plates in Valentine colors. We painted our red, purple, and pink. We didn’t have a bottle of pink, so we simply mixed red and white paint. Let these dry completely, as well.

Once the paper plates are dry, flip over to the other side and draw a heart shape. Don’t worry if you can’t get the shape right on the first try, the pen marks will be covered up.
