Coffee Filter Wreath

Okay, Okay, I know I am the very last person to jump on the bandwagon and make a coffee filter wreath. I made this one over a year ago when I was only a blog wannabe, and my pictures are not the best, but I figured if you really don’t know how to make one, my process will still help.

How To Make A Coffee Filter Wreath

So, here’s what you’ll need to make this wreath:

• coffee filters (buy these unbleached, natural ones if you want a softer color and not white for your wreath)
• glue gun
• hot glue
• fishing line or ribbon to make a hanger
• scissors

Brendt at she gave it a go has step by step instructions, so I won’t repeat them in detail.

But I did take some pictures during the process, and since I was a blogger wannabe I thought they may come in handy someday to post.  Well a year later now that I see that everyone has “been there done that” then like I said, I will spare you the exaggerated details.

1. shape the coffee filters by pinching and twisting the center to create a “flower”
2. once you have several done, glue them to your wreath form
3. keep repeating step 1 and 2 until you complete covering the form
4. create a hanger from your fishing line or ribbon

So fancy, don’t you think? I like them and who can go wrong with a project totaling less than $3 for some coffee filters!

Well, I admit I am late to the game but I can still play, right?

Coffee filter wreath variations

I don’t have pictures to show you, but I have an imagination 😉

You can embellish your wreath for any season:

• add some artificial poinsettia flowers or some gold glittery stars for Christmas
• use some food coloring to create pastel “flowers” with your coffee filters
• buy a tye dye kit and have fun creating a summer wreath
• my unbleached coffee filter wreath can easily be adorned with some fall colors for the perfect fall decoration.
