COFFEE FILTER TREE AND WREATH DIY



If you are looking for an EASY , IMPRESSIVE, FESTIVE ... and CHEAP Christmas project...

THIS IS IT!!!!

Even if you are not a crafter, this  Coffee Filter Tree And Wreath are soooo much fun to make and the result is AMAZING!!!!!

I bought all I needed (except the tree cones and star) at the Dollar Store and got busy...

Here's how I made my Christmas decorations for next to nothing...



The wreath is big and fluffy and full!





I made each of these decorations in just about 1 hour! So easy! So fun!


Dollar Store Coffee Filter Tree And Wreath

1-2 packages of 200 count coffee filters (I used unbleached... but to have a white tree or wreath use white filters)
straw wreath (I forget what size I used)
large Styrofoam tree cone
cardboard star, painted white and dipped in Epson salts
assorted small ball ornaments
hot glue


Coffee Filter Wreath



















Coffee Filter Tree














TA-DA... or should I say... FA-LA-LA-LA-LA!


Doesn't look like it came from the Dollar Store does it?

    These are adorable, Yvonne! And they do look quite elegant using the unbleached filters and small ornaments.

    Why can't I pin this? It always says sorry, no pinnable things on this page. I have tried before on your blog too.

    I made a white coffee filter wreath last Spring & used it as part of my Spring-Summer decor, but I hadn't even thought about doing the tree. That is so, so cute, Yvonne! I'm pinning away for next year! Thank you so much for sharing.

    I hope your knee surgery recovery is going well.

    Oh I love these coffee filter decorations. Great idea to hot glue them to the sealed wreath. I opened one once and realized it was a mistake because the straw gets everywhere! Pinning this.
