I did it!! I FINALLY did it. I have had making a coffee filter wreath on my to-do list for nearly a year. Seriously!! Like I had the kids drawing on them long before we moved. I took their creations & tucked them away in my craft tote for the move & finally decided to do it. Push came to shove when I realized that March was here & I needed to update our mantle for spring. Hello- the red berries of winter needed to go right?! So I carved out a couple hours one afternoon & got to work. I am so happy I did. We spent the weekend getting the mantle changed out & I love how it turned out.
These images are of the wreath on the front door because it’s still pretty dark in the house with the overcast skies. I really don’t recommend putting this coffee filter wreath outside unless your door is very sheltered from the weather. I would imagine it wouldn’t be as pretty if it got all wet & soggy. 🙂
This thing is HUGE. I took one full pool noodle & another half of one & taped them together.
Made the wreath about 30″ across when complete & completely dwarfed my 10 foot tall front door.
I just love the pops of color between the white filters & the color details on the ones the kids colored.
Here it is above the mantle.
Have a FABULOUS Tuesday!!

This is awesome! I immediately wondered how you got the color. I would not have guessed it was filters with markers. That’s beautiful! You inspire me to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!
