Coffee {FILTER} Wreath

I saw this BEAUTIFUL wreath on this blog and instantly fell in love!
If you want really good instructions, follow their tutorial or if 
you think you have the idea, follow this quickie. 
HAVE FUN!


Add lots of water to the paint and squish in a few coffee filters


Carefully in crinkle them and wring them out. Lay them flat to dry...

everywhere. They really will end up all over your house. 


Fold the coffee filter in half (hot dog style) then once more (hamburger style)
(-if you can even do those styles with a circle...)
cut them so they look like the pic above.



Cut the middle circle so it can become a line.
 Use masking tape to gather them.


AMAZING flowers!!


I'm poor, as many of us are and didn't want to spend money 
on a wreath. so I cut a circle in a cardboard box. 
whola. 
A WREATH.
I just glued the flowers on the wreath to make it look roundish.


TAHDA!


I aslo hot glued two strands of thick thread on the back to hang it up with.


It really adds a LOT to a room!
