Coffee Filter Wreath Tutorial {Anthropologie Style}



So here is the wreath tutorial. I got this great idea from The Nester.
But I will say that I accidentally made an improvement
to The Nester's project.

Doesn't this just say Anthropologie? Now I will confess that
I have never actually been inside this store for three reasons:
a. we don't have any in Oklahoma that I'm aware of,
b. I couldn't afford to buy a single item in the store, and
c. I don't travel much (at all) so I probably won't get the thrill
anytime soon.
But I have seen some pretty amazing pictures of the decor
in this place. A-mazing. For your enjoyment, this first picture
is one of their window displays using, I think tissue paper,
but the second and third pictures are coffee filters!
Like I said, pretty amazing!




Anyhow, now that I have set the bar really high for myself,
here is what you need. And here is where my improvement
came in. The Nester used a packaged wood/like wreath
but all I had was a styrofoam one in the craft/linen/christmas gift closet.
When I was showing off the beaut to my friend after I was
finished she suggested that I could stick different holiday
or floral picks in the wreath for each holiday or season!
Great Gadsby that's a good idea!



So fold your coffee filter in half like so.



And then in half again like so.



Now a dab of glue will do ya. I put mine pretty close together.




It doesn't have to be perfect and you will need to fill in some gaps.
Mine could actually use a few more coffee filters to make
me completelyhappy. Hope you enjoy!

P.S. This is a great website for kid's craft ideas and they
actually featured this post on their site yesterday!

  6. So, do you insert the tip of the glued coffee filters into the styrofoam or simply glue it on to the surface of the styrofoam? I'm very detailed...just want to ask before starting.
