How To Make Coffee Filter Wreath

Crafting with coffee filters might sound odd, but it’s actually really fun! If you have never made a coffee filter craft, today’s wreath is the one you need to try. With just a few supplies, you can makeover some plain coffee filters and turn them into a colorful wreath.

For my wreath, I decided to go with a pastel spring theme, but you could choose any color that you like. Imagine this wreath in one color, like orange, or in red, white, and blue for the 4th of July. The possibilities are endless!

Supplies Needed To Make Coffee Filter Wreath

• Coffee filters (I used an entire package of 100 on my wreath)
• Food coloring
• Wreath form
• Hot glue and a glue gun
• Water
• Bowl
• Metal baking sheet
• Pencil

Step 1: Dye Coffee Filters

First, you will want to dye your coffee filters with food coloring. Add some water to a bowl and add the desired food coloring. Add a few drops and stir. I started with just red. Dip the end of your coffee filter into your bowl.

Step 2: Set Coffee Filters Aside To Dry

The water sort of wicks up and colors the entire filter. I then set mine on a baking sheet to dry. You can make as many of each of the colors as you would like. I chose pink, green, purple, and yellow.

I used the same baking sheet for all my colors and put a sheet of paper between each one. They did sort of bleed through a little, but the wreath turned out great, so I would not worry about it if I were you!

I did a mix of red and blue to make colors like the purple above. I will note that when you mix two different food colorings you can kind of see each color on the coffee filter. In the image above, you can see the blue-ish tint on the tops of them. I thought that was extra cool so I ran with it. Allow your coffee filters to dry completely on the baking sheet.

Step 3: Place The Eraser End Of A Pencil Inside Coffee Filter

Then, you will want to attach them to your wreath form. You can use any wreath form you desire, but I do like to cover mine with strips of white cotton material. This makes it extra easy to just rip everything off when you are ready for a change and re-use the form.

Once your wreath form is covered, put the eraser end of a pencil into each of the coffee filters.

Step 4: Hot Glue Coffee Filter Onto Wreath Form

Use a hot glue gun to attach them randomly into place in rows around your wreath form.

Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 & 4

You will want to keep filling the coffee filter wreath until it is nice and full. Also, don’t forget to add coffee filters to the inside surface.

Step 6: Hang Wreath

Once you have all of your coffee filters in place, you can hang your spring wreath right on your front door. For easier hanging, you can add a loop of ribbon on the back.

Can you believe that something so gorgeous can come from just plain coffee filters?

This wreath is so simple to make yet makes a stunning entrance to your home for the season.

And, yes, I do know that it is not spring yet, but a girl can dream!

So, will you add a coffee filter wreath to your must-make list this year?

I think everyone should try making a quick and easy wreath like this one!

It is a 10″ wreath form.

The Only Thing I Could Find At The Store Is A Gel Food Coloring. Will This Work Mixed With Water?

It should! You just want to color the water.

Can I Use A Different Kind Of Glue?

I find that hot glue is ideal for projects like this one because it dries quickly and holds securely. However, if you don’t have a hot glue gun, you could use super glue or even craft glue. The only thing to remember is that if you use super glue or craft glue the drying time will be much longer.
