Ruffle Wreath

I think I'm the last crafter on the planet that hasn't jumped on the coffee filter wreath bandwagon.

The Nester made this gorgeous wreath.

Then Kimba at A Soft Place to Land made this one with natural coffee filters.

Fashionably late, I'm on the bandwagon now but with a twist. I made mine into ruffles. I started by folding my coffee filters in half, then half again. I guess this would be quarters, right?



I hot glued the first one down then I started hot gluing them about 3/4" up from the last.


It is kind of hard to work around a circle, but just keep going. It'll work out.

I looped a wide grosgrain ribbon around the wreath form so I didn't squash any of the ruffles.



If you haven't made a filter wreath yet, try this one. It's easy peasy and takes way less time than the other versions!

Check out the link parties where I'm sharing this week!

    That was the appeal for me too, Vickie! I'm way to ADD for a project that takes 3 hours.

    Looks great. I want to make a wreath but got no time. Your wreath looks great and looks like it would take no time at all.

    Cute. I haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, so I guess you weren't the last blogger. :)

    I love it..and am going to make one! This one looks like it could be pinned down with florist pins for those of us who don't play well with glue guns:)
