Instructions

  • Start by folding a filter in half, and then in half again. Then you're going to roll it into a cone shape, somewhat tight at the bottom and more loose at the top.
    Folding a coffee filter into a cone shape
  • Bend the bottom of the filter cone, which makes a tab for you to glue on and also keeps the cone from unraveling.

  • Place a dab of hot glue on the tab. Press down on the inside of the wreath form. Pick a point about midway down on the inside.

  • Start with one, then glue one right next to it. Then one right next to that.

  • Continue all the way around the wreath form gluing coffee filters, until you have worked your way around the inside of the circle.

  • Mark where you finish the row with your finger. That's the point at which you will start the second row. Continue just as you did before, gluing coffee filters down.

  • You're going to repeat the process on the entire wreath form - here's the diagram for approximately where you'll want each row to go.

  • Once done, flip the wreath over to the back.

  • Punch two holes in the back of the wreath form with an awl or a toothpick (even a BBQ skewer would work). Cut a piece of pipe cleaner, fold into a U, and hot glue into the holes.

  • Hang your coffee filter wreath on any surface you like, even a covered porch! They are very easy to hang with Command strips.
