Coffee Filter Wreath

I came across Lindsay L's Pinterest pin on wreaths. I had a long weekend off and wanted to FINALLY give this a try. I ended up making 3 of them and 1 small one. SO easy!!


Here's what you need.... 1 poster board (I wanted my wreath to lay flat on the wall. You can use a wreath foam form.), 1 package of coffee filters (brown or white), a hot glue gun and glue, 2 round objects ( to trace the size you want your wreath to be), scissors, and ribbon.


Step 1: Trace your round objects on your poster board and cut out.


Notice the circles are not perfect, it IS ok. I get impatient, so my projects are not always perfect. 

Step 2: Start gluing the filters on. You need to pull the filters apart so they are ready to put on quick. This is when you decide if you want to put the filters close together or farther apart. I had to play with the first wreath that I made. I put the hot glue on the poster board and then I pushed them down on the glue. I pushed my filters down to where they were not so tall.

Step 3: Put the ribbon on the wreath and hang it!!!
