coffee filter wreath

coffee filter wreath's were all over blogland last year.

you've seen  them.

a soft place to land

they are puffy and feminine and interesting.

i'm a little late to the coffee filter craze but all the stars

aligned last night; i had my filters, glue sticks, wreath form,

and the biggy - a chunk of time to see it through.

FOUR hours to be exact.

yep, that's how long it took. i was determined not

to stop halfway through for fear i wouldn't come back to finish her off.

this is what you see when you enter our front door.

another door. it's our coat closet and it is

directly across from the front door so i like to have something pretty

there.

mine's not quite as puffy. my filters are glued closer to the

wreath from and then i went over it with a pair of scissors

to trim her up and even out some spots. still needs a little more evening

out, i think.

a very cheap project. my wreath from was half off from hobby lobby - so, 2.50 - and

i bought store brand natural coffee  filters for .89 a pack. I used two packs.

the only casualty in this project were my finger tips. i lost approximately

2.5 finger prints.

if you try this don't give up. you will think at many points along the way

it looks horrible but keep at it. once you get all your filters on

you'll be happy with it!
