DIY Coffee Filter Wreath

I've wanted to make one of these fluffy white wreaths for awhile now! It was so simple to make and cost less than $5. It took about an hour to complete, but well worth the time. I used a pack of coffee filters, a hot glue gun, a wreath form, and burlap ribbon.

Just take the ruffled edge of each coffee filter and poof them, then hot glue the bottom of the filters all the way around the wreath. Make sure the filters are glued very close to each other- to make your wreath full. I hung the wreath in our store with burlap ribbon.

Spring Burlap Wreath

Hello Friends! I hope you are having a good day so far.

I wanted to share with you a cute little burlap wreath I made for spring. The weather has been beautiful here in Alabama so I have been decorating and spring cleaning.

I love how this wreath turned out, originally I wanted to use natural colored burlap, but purple was all I had at the time. I knew I wanted it to be easily interchangeable because I plan on gifting this burlap beauty to a friend.

Here's how I made it.

Materials:

A straw wreath form

Approx. 1 yard of burlap

Straight pins

Extra decorative accessories of your choice 

{I used a newspaper bird, birds nest, and my DIY moss initial}

1. I started out wrapping the wreath form with 3" wide strips of burlap {I cut along the length of the burlap so the strips were long}. It took about 3 strips to get all the way around. I just pinned them in place.  

2. I cut A LOT of 4x4 square burlap pieces. It doesn't have to be perfect at all. 

3. Next, I took the squares one at a time and folded them in half.

4. And then in half again.

Then I simply used straight pins to pin them into the wreath form. I pinned two together {side by side} at a time, which sped up the tedious process of folding and pinning. Go all the way around until you're done. 

I made the moss initial from a wooden letter wrapped in sheet moss using craft glue. Just cut the sheet moss about an inch or so extra around the letter- then wrap and glue. So simple! It was made for less than $5.

Then, I just added a burlap ribbon and hung it up. Now I'm ready for spring!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Spring Moss Wreath

Happy Monday! I want to share with you a little craft project I worked on yesterday as I helped decorate a friend’s parents' house. We had a great time shopping for home accessories and creating this springtime moss wreath. She already had the moss wreath left over from her daughter's wedding, so we just tweaked it a bit and took what we didn't need off.

While in a local craft store we found a small wood and metal birdhouse, a redbird, and a wooden letter J {we painted brown} that was perfect for the wreath. As we were putting the wreath together we came across another charming, vintage redbird to add to our spring wreath. Needless to say, this wreath now has another purpose; it's hanging beautifully on a mirror from our store, in their newly decorated living room.

I love just about anything related to natural materials and natural colors, so this mossy wreath mixed with burlap fabric makes me smile!


Thanks for stopping by.
