Quite popular several years ago, this wreath was made with unbleached coffee filters and remains a favorite. It took hundreds of them to create it, somewhere in the range of five hundred, if my mind serves me correctly.
As for the size, methinks it ended up with a diameter of approximately 3 ft.
The base is a grapevine wreath and the coffee filters were gathered at the center of the base, then hot glued at the base onto the grapevine form. A tiny branch was tucked into the center upon completion. It was quite easy to create, just time consuming.
You can dye white coffee filters whatever color you desire using food coloring, acrylic paint or Rit dye. To learn how, search "how to dye coffee filters". Keep in mind that once immersed in water, you will lose most of the pleated effect as they must be laid flat to dry.
I no longer have it, but may make another to hang in the kitchen. As always, time shall tell.
By the way, I am going to begin sharing some of my previous Halloween creations this week, as the season is fast approaching!
I am...
sequestered and serene xo
