Winter White Coffee Filter Wreath (Decked out for Valentine’s Day!)

Up until about 5 days ago, I still had our Christmas greens wreath up on the front door, sporting the word ‘merry’ across it. Bad little blogger, I know, but I just didn’t have anything to go up – I have a spring wreath, but too soon for that. And then it hit me! I had the perfect solution for an easy, cheap, and perfectly seasonal wreath for this time of year!

Remember my brown coffee filter wreath I made last Fall?

(Which apparently, I neglected to post about because I can’t seem to find one on it?!! How did THAT happen??)

Anywho…I thought, how about a white coffee filter wreath for winter?! YES!

So I picked up the only three things I’d need for this project: a straw wreath form (18 inch), pins, and coffee filters. I bought a pack of 100 filters and still had some left.

And I didn’t take any pics, (because I could have SWORN I did a post on the brown one in the Fall?!) but used the same method as I did before – fold in half, then half again, and stick ’em in the wreath with a pin! Then just fluff ’em out a bit. Couldn’t be easier.

My girls are at such great ages to help me with these projects now. It’s fun that they love to help…I’ll certainly take it!

I hung it up on the door and thought it needed just a little something. So since Valentine’s Day is coming up, I went into my box of decorations and pulled out a banner I made YEARS ago – probably my very first Valentine’s Day as a blogger – and thought that would do just the trick. And it was just right:)

Here it is!

The banner is made up of just some burlap, felt, and white paint and stencils. Hot glued on a piece of jute and that’s it. To get it to stay put, I just used the leftover pins – like this:

And then just hide it with the filters!

Like I said earlier, I didn’t even use a pack of 100 filters, so this is such a thrifty wreath – the wreath forms were 50% off at Hobby Lobby when I picked it up, so it was $2.99, then the filters were $1.99, and the pins were about $3. Had the banner already, so I spent about $8 total! And I love the way this wreath could be used almost during the entire year – could even add some red, white, and blue and make it work in the summer! I think I’ll get my money’s worth;)

Though for now, I think it couldn’t be more perfect for this snowy white, lovey time of year.

Coffee filters…who knew, right?!
