Fall Coffee Filter Wreath

Ever since I made the Christmas coffee filter wreath last year, I’ve been wanting to do one up for fall.  For this wreath I used the natural, unbleached filters. These filters can be found most anywhere.  I found them at Walmart, but most grocery stores carry them.

Not only is it pretty to look at, it smells wonderful !  The pine cones are cinnamon scented.

The full and complete instructions can be found here, but here are a few anyway.

Start off with foam wreath and about 200 coffee filters....

Fold a filter in half, pinch on the bottom, pull through your hand to make a flower.

Flatten the bottom and glue to the wreath.  Star gluing from the centre row, and keep going around till you reach the outer edge.  Remember to leave the back FLAT.

Tip #1:
   Wrap a wire around the top of your wreath before starting to glue the filters on.  It’s MUCH harder to work a wire through there later.  The wire will also come in handy when you want to hang the wreath before adding some of your finishing touches.  I always like to see it on the wall as I’m gluing my decorations on.
Tip #2
For those of you who don't like finger burns....( I have a few nice welt's from the hot glue) I learned this half way through this project.....
I knew I was going to clip the stems from the roses so I used a stem to press the hot glued filter down on the wreath.  No need to use your fingers to press them down.  Use whatever you have.  Save your fingers!

I bought a few decorations from Michaels Craft Store.  This little bag contained cinnamon scented pine cones and 3 decorative pumpkins.

I used a little bunch of cream coloured roses and cut all the stems down.

And with a few more little additions, this wreath came together nicely.

I wrapped some twine around the wire and topped with another pine cone.  My hanger shows because I need to drop the wreath below the Board and Batten.

It goes really well with my straw and corn husk owl.
