{Valentine's Day Countdown} Coffee Filter Wreath

 

This post was originally published on Bowdabrablog.com

 I am very excited about today's craft. I have wanted to make one of these for quite some time. Today I am going to show you how to make a coffee filter wreath. Perfect for Valentine's or for everyday cuteness in your home or on your door.



Here is What You Will Need:

1 Package of Coffee Filters
1 Wreath form
Hot glue gun

Bowdabra Bow Wire

Mini Bowdabra

Hair Bow Tool & Ruler with Interactive Bow Making CD

Scrap Piece of 5/8 inch wide Red Grosgrain Ribbon



Instructions:

1. Start out by folding your coffee filter in half



2. Put a line of glue on your wreath form and attach coffee filter





3. You will continue to do this all the way around the wreath.





This took me about 30 minutes to do. Thank goodness for a great playlist on my iPod :)

4. Once you have completed your wreath, it is time for a bow.

5. To create a Bowdabra Bow for your wreath, begin by placing the Hair Bow Tool and Ruler onto the Mini Bowdabra.  Cut an 18″ piece of Bowdabra Bow Wire, fold it in half, and place it into the Mini Bowdabra.



6. Following the instructions on the Interactive Hair Bow Making CD create a Boutique Style Bow.



7. Follow the CD’s instructions for finishing the bow.  Once finished, tie a scrap piece of 5/8 inch wide red grosgrain ribbon onto the back of the bow.  Using the 5/8″ wide red grosgrain as a finishing ribbon on the center of your bow to hide the Bowdabra Bow Wire.  To keep the grosgrain ribbon tails from fraying run a lighter along the edges of ribbon to keep it from fraying.  An another alternative to keep ribbon from fraying is clear nail polish.  

8. I hot glued my bow onto my extra red ribbon.



Then your finished. Hang and Enjoy!
