Over the holidays I had an opportunity to get a little crafty.
For ages, I've been wanting to try my hand at making a coffee filter wreath.
I know you all have seen them. If your anything like me, you've probably been drooling over them just like I have been!
Since I planned to use the wreath in a slightly unconventional way, I used a base of form board cut into a donut shape.
After a little experimenting, I had the technique down and the wreath went together very quickly.
You may have noticed a sneak peek yesterday when I was showing off my new table runner,
Here's a close up.
I place the wreath on one of my favorite cake stands . . .
Then added a flameless candle to the middle.
A slightly larger candle would probably look better, but I'm trying to use what's on hand instead of running to the store.
I love how it turned out and it looks so pretty dressing up the dinning room table.
How about you, have you made yourself one yet?
Hope you all have a fabulous day,
Robin
That is really cute! I like how you put it on your cake plate with a candle. I've not made one yet and keep thinking I should. Thanks for sharing!

Your wreath looks so pretty! I think the coffee filter wreaths are perfect for winter because they look like fluffy snow. Maybe you could put a tuna fish can under your candle to raise it up a bit. I'm always raiding the pantry for my vignettes. Cans are nice and sturdy and have flat tops so they work well for propping things.
ReplyDeleteI love how you displayed it! I am itching to make one, I have all the stuff for a while now, just need to sit down and do it! :)
ReplyDeleteThe coffee filter ruffles are so pretty! Looks very nice sitting on your table with the new runner! :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Robin! I need to make one soon....I bought a package of coffee filters the other day...I don't drink coffee but I saw them and figured I could use them somehow...this would be perfect. Which instructions did you use?
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique way to use this! I love making these wreaths, but I've never thought to use them like this! Love it.

Very very pretty, Robin; I love it. I may have to try it. Did you hot glue or just glue them on? I have a bunch of those flameless candles and love them.
