Coffee Filter Wreath

I've finally jumped on the "make my own cool wreath" band wagon.
I've seen a lot in my day....(that makes it sound like i'm 90 or something..)
and i think this maybe the cutest one!

I got the idea from Little Brown House.
So i gathered what I needed.  Come to find though, that my wreath I had was smaller than the one she had.  So I had to improvise!

So get a wreath, brown coffee filters, pins, hot glue gun and some ribbon.
I smooshed up the filter in the middle to do a flower type look:

 I then stuck a pin through it so when I place in the wreath, it would hold.
 I clipped the end so they would be shorter so they would fit in my smaller wreath.
 I placed some hot glue on the wreath and then pinned the filter on top of the glue so it's double secure!

Here I am half way!  You just do those steps until it's all filled.  I didn't do it on the back of the wreath so it would lie flat on the wall.  But I just did about 1/2 way on the side and the filter puffed out enough to cover the wreath so you can't see it.

I hot-glued a ribbon on the back and hung it up!

  2. So Cute! I made a "Book Wreath" a long time ago and I love it but I really like this one, too. I might do a white one for my girls' room. Thanks for sharing.
