Coffee Filter Wreath

My sister sent me a 'Pin' fit this fun craft the other day! It took me allot longer than I expected, but I'm happy with the results.

Here is the link to the tutorial I followed:

I didn't have a foam wreath and I could handily buy one in the small town I live by, so I had to get creative with what I had. My hubby had some extra tubing lying around and I happened to have a few soup can lids to spare!  :)


The tubing was not going to work with hot glue very well so I hole-punched the taped part of each flower and used twist ties to attach them to the wreath.

I believe I used over 300 coffee filters! This wreath is almost all white filters that I painted, but I'm thinking I might do one for the fall and use BROWN coffee filters because they pick up the rich colour so nicely with a sort of earthy feel.
