Coffee Filter Wreath Tutorial

First get your self plenty of coffee filters.

A straw wreath

A handy dandy glue gun.

When I work on these types of projects, I like to have a fountain drink and some sort of entertainment.  Did you know that all the episodes of Magnum P.I. are on Netflix right now. I was in middle and high school when this was the show to watch. 

I wasn't exactly sure how to begin, so I just began. 

After I made the complete circle, I changed up my gluing method.

I began folding the ends and placing them just so…like in the picture below.

And around and around I went. 

And 4 hours and several burnt fingers later, I finished! Oh my goodness, I did not think I was ever going to finish this thing! It was no way easy and as quick as I thought and pretty much at the end I was just shoving coffee filters wherever there seemed to be a hole. I do wish I would have covered the wreath with white cloth so that the holes were not so noticeable.

Here is the finished product.

Another picture where you can see the holes I need to fill in, see if I would have used the white cloth they would have just blended in.

Here is another picture, it doesn’t look near as good in the picture as it does in my living room. I just couldn’t seem to capture the essence of the coffee filters and 4 hours of my hard labor in the photos! but at least you have heard the truth here and if you decide to give it a try, you will not be under the disillusionment that it will be easy nor quick nor will you get away without injury!
