Simple Coffee Filter Wreath DIY {12 Months of Wreaths}

CoffeeFilterWreath_650
Welcome back to 12 Months of Wreaths!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to our second month of 12 Months of Wreaths! This month, I wanted to work on a wreath that I could hang on our new cathedral mirror that is above our console table. I wanted something neutral and clean... I decided a coffee filter wreath would be perfect! These wreaths have been done many times, but this is the first one I've made and I'll be sharing the instructions below.

I love the texture this wreath adds and you'd never think it is just hundreds of coffee filters glued to a wreath form!

Now I will share with you how I created this gorgeous wreath!


How to Create a Simple Coffee Filter Wreath:
MakeWreath0
The supplies for this craft are basic, you just need a 12" flat wreath form, ribbon and coffee filters. I used 400 coffee filters for this wreath!


MakeWreath1
Tie your ribbon around the wreath form, make it long enough to be a hanger.


MakeWreath2 MakeWreath3
These pictures show you how to fold each coffee filter. Basically, you fold it in half three times.

Fold the tip to make a point. This point is what you'll hot glue to the wreath form. Then, hot glue each individual coffee filter down one by one in the same direction.

I think it took me 4-5 hours to make this entire wreath. I broke it up and worked on it an hour a day. It isn't hard, just time consuming.

Here is the wreath in the room, I still need to decorate my console table for the spring, it's been pretty bare since the holidays.

Braided Bun Tutorial for a Little Girl + Product Giveaway! {SoCozy}

Image
Hey everyone! I am here today to share a Braided Bun Hair Tutorial using SoCozy's new hair products called HUSH. These products are dermatologist tested to treat sensitive hair. I also have a giveaway for ALL four products, so be sure to enter below!

SoCozy HUSH Collection

I went to Target to pick up all 4 products in the HUSH collection. You will find these products in the baby aisle, not in the regular hair product section. My daughter is 8, but she has dry and sensitive skin... so, these products were a dream for her!

Target is also offering a Cartwheel deal through 3/18 for 25% off the Hush collection!


Hush SoCozy Sensitive 2 in 1 Soothing Shampoo + Conditioner - This has a 'brush' on it and the Shampoo and Conditioner comes out and you scrub the scalp. I wasn't sure if my daughter would like this, but she loved how it felt on her scalp!

Hush SoCozy Sensitive Scalp Serum - I think this scalp serum would be great for babies, especially if they have cradle cap and you hav…

Lean-To Greenhouse from Old Doors and Windows

Image
After 6 years of using my baby greenhouse that was built from 3 old storm windows, it became apparent this year that it just wasn't big enough for my needs anymore. The biggest issue I deal with is the late spring frosts and early fall frosts that we are prone to at an elevation of 3700 ft (1125 m). What I need is a place where I can keep 2 full grown tomato plants all summer long and not have to worry about them getting killed by frost.  This new greenhouse also gives me plenty of room to store my planters in the early spring to keep them from overnight temps that could kill them.

Easter Slime {Only 2 Ingredients!}

Image
Slime has been all the rage lately and I am sure you've seen it all over Instagram with people sticking their fingers in it or just videos of them making it! You can even buy slime on Etsy... but, why pay for it if you can make your own at home? This Easter slime is even fun for adults to make! You can make it with your kids over Spring break, make it and store it in little glass mason jars like I did and put it in their Easter baskets or even stuff their Easter eggs with it! It's just so fun to make and rather addictive!



I filled these little mason jars with the slime and did a smaller portion inside a plastic egg. You could even make slime making kits to give out at parties. Slime is so fun and easy to make!

How to Make Easter Slime

For supplies, you'll want TWO 5 oz bottles of Washable Clear Glue (Elmer's brand), 1/2 cup of Liquid Starch and some sort of Easter item to add into the slime.



If you're wondering what liquid starch is (don't worry, I was too!)... you…
