more FREE projects! Hand dyed coffee filter wreath tutorial

In keeping with the word of the week (FREE!)

 I wanted to show you how to make your own coffee filter wreath

Mine was free but you might have to pay minimally for the supplies if you don't have them on hand

Don't forget to check out my other free projects that I posted about this week

Boot socks

awesome bloom belt (still have to trademark that!)

and now 

Hand Dyed Coffee Filter Wreath

O.k. moving on

My super awesome (not really my cousin) cousin Erica (who is friends in real life with Emily...(you know, THE Emily) at Jones Design Company) picked up these grapevine wreaths for free and passed them on to me.  

I have like 8 more, so stay tuned!

also, please disregard the straw wreath on the right, that one was a quarter at a garage sale but was used for a different top secret (not really) project that you will see another time.

Now that we have the introductions down, lets move on.

While we are talking about Emily (oh, we stopped talking about her?  hmmm...guess I was still thinking about how I want to be best friends with her and possibly stalk her at Target), she posted a beautiful wreath project way back in September that has had me drooling since.


see totally drool worthy?

I had some coffee filters that I got for (you guessed it) FREE from Grandma and dyed them.
You can read about how to do that here.

I used a stapler and piled 5 coffee filters together and stapled them twice in the center.

Take the first layer and pull it up twisting it in the center.

Keep pulling up layer after layer and twisting them until you have this beautiful flower

Glue your flowers around your wreath and it looks like this.

I hung mine in my den bringing my wreath total to four in a 9x10 room.  

I think I might have a problem.  Is there such a thing as wreath intervention?

Free, my favorite word.

What's your's?
