My New Wreath

Good Morning! Hope you had a great weekend! I spent my weekend working in the yard. I'm really concerned about how warm it's been this March. It seems we are having 'May' weather two months early. I'm afraid it's going to be a really long. hot. summer..

I have a new favorite. I know these have been around for a little while on blog land but I've just gotten around to making mine. I loved how it turned out so much I had to share! This is my 'coffee filter wreath'. Cheap. Easy. Lovely when completed!

(I apologize for the picture quality. Photography is not my strong point....I sure keep trying, tho!)

Supplies Needed:

Styrofoam wreath form

coffee filters

straight pins

All you do is crumple up your coffee filters then pin them to the foam until you get the wreath as fluffy and full as you like it.  I didn't realize you can actually buy brown coffee filters (I'm not a coffee drinker. I know, right?) I purchased white ones then went through the pain staking process of tea dying each filter. Yikes! Now, I know. The plain bright white ones look really good, too!

This is on my living room wall above my couch. The wall hanging wood thingy (I just went completely blank on what these are called......it's been a long day people!) below the wreath I made a few weeks ago. It was a blank slate. I stained it, painted it white then distressed it with sandpaper. I love making tags and finding things to hang from it as the seasons change.

Hey, thanks for reading! Have a great Monday!
