How To Make Coffee Filter Uncle Sam:

Older kids can use red, white and blue glitter glue to make patterns on coffee filters.
2. Take the wooden clothespin and paint its top two-third using red acrylic craft paint to make the hat of Uncle Sam. Paint the remaining one-third clothespin with pink to make the face of Uncle Sam craft.
3. Using a thin paintbrush, paint white stripes on the hat section of the clothespin. Let it dry.
4. Draw Uncle Sam’s moustache on white craft paper, cut it out and paste it near the bottom of the clothespin face.
5. Next, glue goggly eyes above the moustache.
6. To make the nose of Uncle Sam, add a small dot of skin tone acrylic colour just above the moustache.
7. Take blue craft paper and cut a small rectangular strip to make the band of Uncle Sam’s hat. Paste it on the end of the clothespin hat.
8. To complete Uncle Sam’s hat, add a dab of silver glitter glue just above the band.
9. Punch a star on blue craft paper using a star punch. If you don’t have a star punch, simply draw a star and cut it out with scissors.
10. Paste red letter stickers spelling USA on the star and glue the star on the coffee filter.
11. Lastly, attach the clothespin on the coffee filter.
