Hello everyone!
We've seen them all over blogland lately...those wonderful coffee filter wreaths. They've come in different colours, some coffee stained, some tea stained, some au naturel and I love them all!
I just had to make my own. I don't know if I did something wrong but this little gal took me
over 3 hours to make!
I used a green foam base, don't know how many filters I used as I didn't count! And a glue gun. It's the first time I've used in a glue gun in years! And I have the burns to prove it!
I've been wondering where I should put it. It was a toss up between the breakfast nook and over the dining room mantel.
Here she is
She is so pretty that she looks good just resting on the table...
or on the wainscotting...
I think I might hang her in the breakfast nook on the pation doors. They're not the most attractive doors so I don't know if I want to highlight them...
Then I thought maybe over the mantel in my dining room, (not decorated completely yet).
Does it kind of overpower the mirror? What do you think?
Thanks for visiting and taking another look at another coffee filter wreath!
You did a great job. It looks beautiful in all the areas...you can't go wrong. I think I might just have to make one for my home too.
ReplyDeleteKim! That is one amazing wreath! I love the white coffee filter style for Christmas! It looks so full and beautiful! I can see why it was time consuming. It shows!!! Sorry about the burnt fingers. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! xx
Beautiful, as usual. Still loving all the white!

Gorgeous and I love it over the mantel!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wreath! It is so full and pretty! Hopefully you still have finger prints left! :) I always burn myself with the glue gun! :) I purchased everything to make one this year and never did, might have to revisit that since it started snowing pretty good here and we may have some snow days coming up! :)
ReplyDeleteOh....she would be lovely just about anywhere! Wonderful job! You have inspired me!

ReplyDeletedid a wreath using brown coffee filters but your wreath is so pretty in white that I might have to make a white one too.
ReplyDeleteI think I like yours over your mantle best. You might try hanging it a little higher than the mirror so it only overlaps the mirror or putting some greenery behind it, sticking out around the edges.
I did a tutorial on making a coffee filter wreath with ideas on how to use the glue gun and not burn yourself at http://somereallyneatstuff.blogspot.com/2010/11/not-just-another-coffee-filter-wreath.html.
I just first visited your sight from My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia today and will definitely come back.
Never seen one like it.....just love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Kim, thanks for stopping by! Your wreath looks great and I love your beautiful home! ~Deb~
ReplyDeleteLove the wreath, you did a wonderful job on it, looks great everywhere but like it best on the beadboard. I stopped by from Faded Charm.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job!Like to learn more! Thanks, Liz
ReplyDeletepatience my dear, patience ... you must have alot
ReplyDeleteLove, love this wreath - the color, the fullness; so beautiful! I'm a huge fan of white Christmas decor and I love all of your holiday touches.
ReplyDeletePleased to meet you, Kimberley! I found your blog through sweet Jami. Your wreath is charming! I am now a follower!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog! I love it! I just opened an antique store in Michigan and your ideas are fabulous. I do have one question.....I am redoing my living room in mor of a shabby chic meets victorian theme and I love the wallpaper. I have to live with dark green carpeting for now but I want to add just a hint of color on the walls. Can you tell me the brand and name of the wallpaper? It looks like a hint of green background with white damask design. I would really appreciate the info. You can check out my new store on my blog vintiqueanddreams.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Sandy
Very Pretty.....I love how it looks hanging under your shelf with all the greenery.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend.
