I made a coffee-filter wreath using a small grapevine base I already had on the pantry door. Folding and hot-gluing the filters created a fuller finish while leaving some grapevine visible for texture.
Reuse the wreath and its checked ribbon
The original wreath had lemons and bay leaves. I liked its checked ribbon and thought it would work with the new version as Valentine’s Day approached.
Fold and pinch the coffee filters
I folded each coffee filter in half, then in half again. Pinching and pleating the end made it easier to hot-glue the filter onto the grapevine.
I left some of the base showing because I liked the texture. Wrapping the base in fabric would have been another option, but I did not do that for this wreath.
Fluff the filters as you work
I opened the filters out as I went and hot-glued some together where the wreath needed more fullness. I worked by trial and adjustment rather than following a tutorial.
The checked ribbon could stay while I changed the smaller embellishments through the year. My pink twig wreath uses party favors for another Valentine decoration. The seed-packet wreath reuses a different seasonal display.
