Easiest-Ever-No-Cost Coffee Filter Wreath

You can make a pretty wreath in no time
with things you would normally throw away.
I just rinse and let dry my used coffee filters
until I have enough. This wreath took 
about 75 filters.
I used a wire hanger and shaped it into 
a circle. I did a heart this way for my 
Stapling them on was the easiest way. 
No messy glue.
Poke the middle with your finger and scrunch.
Fold the tip over the wire. 
Staple on.
 Push together as you go.
I used the hanger's hook to hang the wreath.
I added a salvaged ribbon to the hook.
I like the look of the coffee-stained filters
 I could also hang it on the front of a cabinet.
 Or on the window pane tomirrors above
 the cobbler's bench in the living room.
I may need to make another one!
 This wreath was a fast and easy project.
Even easier than my last coffee filter wreath
and I didn't have to buy a thing!

Cheers!

  2. I love the idea of stapling the filters on. Hot glue and I are not the best of friends! My next one will be stapled for sure! Looks good.

  6. This is great. Makes me wish we didn't have to use the "cone style" filters in our coffee maker. I would love it if you would share on my linky party Tout It Tuesday. http://www.claimingourspace.com/2012/05/tout-it-tuesday-7.html

  12. I've seen a thousand CRAPPY wreaths on Pinterest and various blog but I have to say that I am majorly impressed with your USED coffee filter wreath. It hover crossed my mind to actually used USED coffee filters and I love the simple technique you have used. Bravo…guess I better see what else you have on this blog since this is my first time visiting. I stopped over from the Linky party at My Repurposed Life.
