I have admired the beautiful texture and fullness of a coffee filter wreath for a while, but I always felt like it was too involved of a project to tackle. This season it was time to take on the challenge. I headed to my favorite Dollar Tree and picked up $4 worth of supplies, then grabbed my glue gun and a few hot glue sticks and got to work.

For this coffee filter wreath I used:
- Foam wreath form
- 150 pack of white coffee filters – I used about 100, maybe a few more
- 2 fall floral stems
- Hot glue
Don’t want to make a trip to the store? Get your supplies here and shop all my go to craft supplies on Amazon.
The key to a fluffy and full wreath is lots of rolled filters. I started by folding a filter in half, then in quarters. Next I rolled the quarter and pinched the end to hold it closed, then I repeated this about 100 times.

Rolling these cones is a great project to do while binging some Netflix, very relaxing.
I started attaching these cones with hot glue to the back inside of the wreath. Once I had filters all around, I tuned the wreath over and folded the filters in to cover the inside of the wreath.

Next, I added filters to the outside and folded them up to create fullness around the outside of the wreath.

Finally, I added 2 rows of filters to the middle staggering them and fluffing as the glue dried.

About halfway through I tied a ribbon to the wreath form for hanging but this can be done at the end of the project as well.
I love how this looks just white against a dark door, I’m thinking this will make a fabulous winter wreath too. To liven it up for fall I used 2 floral stems with leaves and a pumpkin and wrapped the wire stems around the wreath. I didn’t use anything permanent to secure the stems because I want to remove them as the season changes.

I am in love with this wreath. It is hanging on a mirror over my mantle and it’s the perfect size for my space.
If you like this project, pin it and share it with your fall loving friends.

I make these, mostly with filters I have dipped in water tinted with food coloring. My next 2 will be with the natural colored filters. A lot of options and do inexpensive. ( I usually use at least 250 filters per)

I made a fall wreath using the natural brown coffee filters and the white ones for a Christmas wreath. The both turned out beautifully.

Don't you just love it when someone shows us how to make a beautiful craft for so little money?! What a lovely wreath. You could probably use spray paint on the filters to make them for holidays.

If you use food coloring mixed with water in a spray bottle the spritz it it looks funny wet but when it dries it’s awesome I did it when I made red white n blue flowers for a picnic center piece it’s awesome!
