Coffee Filter wreath: tutorial

November 18, 2011

Many of you have already made a coffee filter wreath or seen a tutorial. This post is to encourage those

who haven’t given it a try. I made a white one and a beige one. I was amazed at how nice they look!!.

This post shows the one I made with natural colored filters.

Supplies:

1. ) A wreath base. ( used a grapevine wreath with approx. a 12″ center opening.)

2.) Low temp gluegun and low temp glue sticks

3.) 200 package of coffee filters …I used the larger size

I just added a dime size glue amount to the back of the filter, a pushed the center glued area on the wreath.

I held it there of a few seconds….being careful not to burn my fingers. It helps to put a bandaid over the end of

your fingers for protection.

Go all the way around the wreath…filling in any holes

You’ll end up with a nice full wreath….Perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas!!
