How do you make a coffee filter wreath?
Today I am sharing how to make a Coffee filter wreath. Step by step instuctions.
Of course, I followed no instructions and/or tutorials! I just winged it, and I am so happy I did!
{I am starting my newbie party early as we are on the road today,and I will not be home til late}
I started with this mini grapevine wreath that I had on my pantry door. This one had lemons and bay leaves on it. I liked the checked ribbon and I thought with Valentines day coming this would work.
If you are looking for a how to, or tutorial, you are at the wrong place.
All I can tell you is I folded the coffee filter in half, then in half again. I used my hot glue gun to adhere them to the grapevine, then I poofed them out, and hot glued here and there to bring them together.
Bad TUT, I know!
I am just so stinkin proud of myself over this thing!
It really was simple, and look how cute it is.
Spreading some Valentines here and there and will share more soon.
The nice thing about this wreath is I can use it all year and just add a different embellishment to the checked ribbon if I like.
Let's get this newbie party started!
MY GUIDELINES
*Blogging 6 months or less and or less than 100 followers.
*Would love for you to become a new friend of mine as well on google friend connect.
*PLEASE turn off Word verification, makes commenting very difficult, and you do not need it.
Blogger does a great job of deterring spam comments.
*PLEASE visit a few other participants, that is what you are here for!
*IF you find your link deleted, it is simply because you did not follow my simple guidelines.
*PLEASE add my link or button to your blog and/or post.
Please limit your links to two per newbie party.
thank you.
I would also like to mention, that we all should be watermarking our photo's. Which basically means, add your name or blog name to each photo. With pinterest on the rise in popularity, I see many pins out there with no name.
Do realize any party you link up to, gives people free reign to pin away, which is great, however, no name on the photo, no credit. I always source out my features and I try only to feature ones with your names on them, that is for your benefit. Even though the pin may lead back to my original post, people would clearly see it was your work, with a link back to YOUR blog.

It's simply pretty and GREAT on the door.
How cute and unique from all the rest, just like you!! I am working on a brown one now as a gift for a co-workers birthday. My son asked if those were "used" coffee filters. After I stopped laughing, I told him that you can buy them that color! Too cute! Have a great week!
I love your wreath. I need to make one to keep indoors too. Thanks for hosting the newbie party :)
This is GORGEOUS, Debbie. How did you do those filters. The ribbon is perfect!
Re the water marking, that doesn't help as my hubby actually has shown me how they can be removed ... that is why I don't both to watermark anymore.
Have a lovely day ~
TTFN ~

You rock as a crafter! This is adorable and perfect for that door. Great job...safe travels home.
So cute and perfect for the kitchen!
That looks great, Debbie! I have long had this on my list of things to make, but haven't done it yet. I am glad to hear you say how easy it is. I may have to stop by the dollar store this week and get the filters and a wreath!
Love it! A coffee filter wreath is one of those projects that I've bookmarked, but have never done. Yours looks terrific! Thanks for sharing.
You're right, the coffee filter wreath is really cute !
Thanks for the advice about watermarking - I will do it next time, as some of my pics have been pinned already !!
Thanks also for the party, once again.

Debbie, okay if you say so, I will trust that it IS easy, it looks beautiful!! All fluffy and ruffly with the ribbon for a pop of color!

Well, how cute is that-You're right- NICE tutorial- lol~ It sure turned out great. I will be showing you some ones I made in the next few days. Have a great day away- xo Diana

Your wreath looks great. I like the touch of red.
Good job. I love how it looks.
Thanks for hosting - please delete one of my "Pennant Fevers" - Linky Toolz freaked out part way through my linking up and I don't exactly know how two got posted. This party is a great idea :)
Debbie, I love the coffee filter wreath. It looks so great with the red and white ribbon. It will be fun to decorate for different seasons.

Beautiful job Debbie. Thanks for the advice on the watermarking, I've got things out on Pinterest already. Since I'm still a "newbie" I'll have to research how to do that. Thanks!
Wow, your crafts are awesome! What a great wreath for Valentine's Day. I also loved the colander hanging lamp. Always a pleasure to stop by. Thanks.
You are too smart. I love it. I like it even better that you skip directions. Gives it you own touch.
Love you girl, Ginger
Very cute! Sounds easy enough too. I love the checked ribbon and hearts!
Love the ruffle look of the wreath. Nice job Debbie.
Cute wreath, Debbie! You did a great job!! Thanks for hosting each week!
Your wreath turned out great! Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't follow directions. I don't exactly mean to be rebellious, just don't remember very well! :)
Debbie, the wreath is really cute. You did a great job! Thank you for hosting the Newbie Party.
I don't have any idea how to put my name on my photos, but I am interested in learning because a lot of traffic on my blog is from Google Image searches. Do you think you could connect me to info on how to do that? Thanks!
That's a beautiful coffee filter wreath! That was very creative, Debbie..
Hi~~ I just found your blog through Chateau Chic And I have joined your Newbie Link Party. Thanks for hosting. At the end of the month I will no longer be considered a newbie:(
Have a great night
~Cheryl
WOW Debbie you have some great newbies joining your party I love looking at all of them. Happy Sunday

I'm so glad you posted this!! I've been wanting to do a coffee filter wreath but didn't think it would work on anything but a foam wreath. It pays to think outside the box :)
so cute...I have a few packs of coffee filters just for crafting purposes! Oh! and your colander light is lovely! Thank you for hosting.
Great job Debbie, love the look and the Valentines theme!!
The wreath is soooo cute! And I love the "Pantry" sign on your door. Thanks for the tip on watermarking. I really need to get off my lazy-bones and do it.
Ok, now I am so mad that I left my old wreathie thingies at my old house. I DO want to make a wreath using the WHITE coffee filters--I really love how yours turned out!!
Love the way you gave new life to this wreath! And thanks for the info on watermarking. I've thought about it but you're right about Pinterest . . . we need to make sure we're getting and giving credit where credit is due. Thanks!
Love! This is just too darn cute! I also love the wreath hanger and the Pantry on the door. You are just too talented :)
Cute and sweet! Love it!
SUPER SUPER CUTE!! Love it Debbie!
Love it Debbie! I have wanted one for a while and still haven't made one! Send me yours!!
Debbie
Oh, you Debbie Debbie Doo girl,
You sure do keep me hoppin'....first I had to get on the trail of those cute Walmart lampshades...finally snagged some for my daughter and I....then it was trying to keep up with you on tablesettings...then, I have to MAKE SURE to do a monthly Copy Cat Challenge....then, I was out lookin' for those pallet things...never did locate one...shoot..!!....now, I am planning to make a wreath as soon as the sun rises in the morning. Oh, How I dread it...I get multiple burns when I take my glue gun our of the holster...but, worth every one if my wreath will only look like yours....soooo cute.And besides all that, I want my hair to look just like YOUR hair in that header and there is NO WAY it's gonna happen....:)))) Some dreams just never come true. :(
I can already see I am going to have to do a post of
"HOW I WENT NUTS TRYING TO STAY UP WITH DEBBIEDOO".........
Hi Debbie,
I love your Valentines wreath! It looks so pretty on your door.

Debbie, that is amazing and you needed no stinkin tutorial. Very well done. Olive
Thank you, this really was simple, just a little time consuming with the folding. The hot glue gun works wonders.

Debbie, I love your wreath! The checked ribbon looks so pretty!
But,the first thing that caught my eye is the stencil on your pantry door! I just love it and can't stop thinking about it! LOL I hope you don't mind that I copy this from you, AGAIN! LOL
It is so pretty! By the way, I have two of those Fleur de Lis wreath holders. Don't you love them?
Thank you for the advise on
watermarking our photos. Mine are not that great but I am going to do some research on how to do that.
