The Christmas season is upon us. This is my favorite time of year and I look forward to decorating my house. I saw several versions of this wreath and decided that I would do a "knock-off" version for myself.
Material needed:
Foam wreath
Hot glue gun
Coffee filters
Decoration
Separate the filters and fold in quarters then twist the ends.
Use a screwdriver to pierce a hole in the wreath on the front side. Put glue in the hole then insert the folded filter.
Continue to insert the folded filters in the hole with glue.
Continue adding folded filters in a circular pattern. Place the filters about 1/2 inch apart. Use the point of the screwdriver to help you insert the end of the filter in the hole.
When you have completely cover the top side; add filters to the outside edges. Do not add filters to the back side since you will have to hang the wreath.
Continue adding folded filters until the entire surface is covered.
Add filters on the inside of the wreath and make sure the surface in covered.
Examine the completed wreath to see if there are any open spaces(wreath showing); if needed add more filters in the empty spaces.
I used the white filters. Some of the versions I have seen on Pinterest use dyed filters to make the wreath.
Since mine is white, I wanted to add a little sparkle so I added a Christmas decoration that I purchased from the Dollar Store. Also I added a few dabs of a gold spray I had on hand.
The wreath is complete and you are ready to hang. I hang mine on a black door in my home. I think this looks real good!
I would be happy to answer any questions regarding this diy. It took me only one hour so you can do it too!
In my upcoming posts I will be sharing inexpensive decorating ideas for Christmas. Collect some pine cones, twigs, leaves and acorns. I will show you how to use these in your decorations.
