I Like it a Latte

Super quick project of the day... coffee filter wreath. I saw this project last week and totally fell in love.

We only had white commercial sized filters, so I soaked them in water with a few teabags overnight. (Peter was super confused to find a bowl full of teabags in the sink and asked, "What's this little experiment?" haha)

Anyway, a quick trip to the Dollar Store today and I came home with a simple floral foam wreath. I already had a box of nasty snaggy pins and a brown polkadot ribbon. 10 minutes of pinning and Tadahhhh a wreath!

Mine isn't as full as the original, and my Dollar Store didn't have the same wreath - mine is smaller - but I think it still works.

ETA:  Ohhh look at this one!  I might just take mine down and stuff it some more... although I would have to stain more filters.

This wreath is so lovely, I love it! I'm going to have to try this soon, I seem to have a wreath obsession syndrome. I'd love for you to come see me - I'm giving away 3 glamalicious Sam Moon cuff bracelets at:
