Hello Sweet Friends~Today I’m doing a Coffee Filter Wreath that you just might love! There’s a quick video tutorial at the end of the post!
It uses the Coffee Filter Flowers posted HERE. I told you we’d use those little flowers for another project! This wreath is perfect for fall but you could easily change the colors for any season~
Here’s What Ya Need

Coffee Filter Flowers (Posted HERE)
See, you need next-to-nothing to do this project! Let’s get started…
Take your coffee filters, one at a time, and wad them up…then smooth them out. This makes them look less like coffee filters and more like old paper…(or as I said in the video, “aged papyrus” …where I got that term I’ll never know)
Squeeze and mash the filters (one at a time) like the picture…you aren’t making a flower necessarily, just getting the paper situated to look pretty in the wreath! (the video shows you how)
Now, put a straight pin in the “stem” of the paper and stick it in the wreath …
Because the wreath is a similar color to the coffee filters you don’t need to go crazy pinning these all over the place…I did that, went a little crazy, and the wreath was kinda poofy…so I just took some out …go easy on the coffee filters unless you want a poofy wreath and if poofy is what you’re looking for…then go nuts!
Now take your coffee filter (watercolor) flowers and tuck and pin them here and there around your wreath…just add them in places you think the wreath needs a bit of color…
After your wreath is ruffly, take your fall pick and put it anywhere you think looks nice… 🙂 You’ll know just where to add a little color~
Ya know what I like about this? That a few very simple, humble elements come together to make something rather lovely…when I look at it, I’m reminded God can do that…
The video today is just over 2 minutes, see how quick this project goes!? And I take you to the dining room to show you where this cute little wreath will live throughout the autumn season…
At the end of all my tutorial videos I always ask you to send me a photo of the project if you do one of your own…my sweet new friend Alena from Moscow sent me her version which is SO beautiful and inspires me to want to make another one! Thank you Alena xo
Sending love my sweet friends

Linking with Yvonne at Stone Gable!
I wanted to make some more flowers…..this looks fun! Will watch the video later after I get the straw wreath. What size wreath did you use? Robin, you have awesome ideas!
I just love this wreath, Robin! I love decorating with natural elements and this wreath fits right in. It looks so beautiful hung up! Thank you for sharing another lovely and simple craft project!
Eileen, thank you friend! I love using natural elements too 🙂
how do you hang the wreath..thanks
I had watched you first couple of videos and think you are doing an awesome job with your new channel! Congratulations! And this one is very well done too (sixty-eleven?? lol)
I love this wreath and will definitely be trying this. I don’t have that type of frame so I’ll probably use my glue gun. I hope it turns out as wonderful as yours did! I’ve pinned this post.
Debbie 🙂
Debbie, thak you for the encouragement my friend xo
Oh, and Debbie, I know your wreath will be perfect! I’ve seen some done with glue guns and it works like a charm! xo
I love this! It’s so pretty! I’m not much of a wreath-girl, but I really like this one. Pinning for sure! 🙂
Brooke, thank you so much! xo
I believe you’re the best “wadder” I’ve ever seen. And for six dollars!!!
Un-be-lieve-a-ble!!!!!
You’re a natural. Robin Spizeman.
XOXO
Julie, aren’t I a great wadder!!!?
This is just beautiful, Robin! I have a couple of coffee filter wreaths in my house but this is different! I love it! You’re a natural in your videos too! ~~Angela
Ang, thank you friend, really appreciate you watching the video! xo
Gorgeous wreath! Perfect for fall!
Jenna, thank you! I’m so ready for fall! xo
Sweet Robin, I think somehow we are genetically related… two reasons: your LEFT arm is full of bracelets and, yes, “sixty-eleven” is a bona fide term embedded in our family’s vocabulary list! Thank you for another darling project! You precious woman! May you have a sweet day with Jesus, Gaye Lynn ?
Gaye Lynn, are you my long lost sister!!!? I can’t go through my day without my bracelets 🙂 and thank you!!! Someone else who says sixty eleven!!! sending love my friend/family 🙂
I love the look of this wreath, especially the flowers!
Thank you Julia! xo
I love it, Robin- you did a great job! Maybe someday I’ll get the nerve to do videos. Nah, probably not! 🙂
SheilaG thank you sweetie! (It’s easy when you’re by yourself talking to your friends! 🙂 )

Dolly Olsen
Thanks Dolly! I know you can do this 🙂 Let me know if you decide to give it a try!xo
I love your natural wreath…will be definitely giving this a go, hope it looks as good as yours Robin. 🙂
Nola, I’m so happy you’ll be trying it! I know yours will look better !!! Shoot me a photo I’d love to see yours my friend xo
Super easy to make! Although super puffy so I mine has been smashed down by our storm door but it doesn’t affect the look. My 4 yr old daughter loved helping dye the filters. Great fall gift for teachers for grandparents.
