It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

She Glues Coffee Filters To A Foam Circle And The Result Is As Lovely As Can Be!

Coffee filters are an amazing crafting item.  Not only that, they have many incredible uses that you do not know about but would probably use!

Because of the airy, white consistency of them, when you craft with them, your projects turn out quite romantic and soft looking.  No one would ever suspect what they actually were.

 

Check out this beautiful coffee filter wreath from downhomeinspiration!  The final product is so pretty!

    I made a Valentine’s Day wreath with coffee filters. It is not as easy as it sounds. The filters are folded and the tips glued to the wreath using a hot glue gun, a deadly weapon. i burned myself multiple times!! What was I thinking?

  4. Love to dye the filters & make peonies, or wreaths as is shown or similar!

    First, you need to use a low temp heat gun – saves the fingers!! I started mine off with the high heat one and had to take a break while my fingertips healed. I also dipped the outer edges of the coffee filters in food coloring and water, let them dry, and ended up with a beautiful pastel wreath. Ours is hung between our storm door and front door so the weather doesn’t get to it. The natural colored filters make a great accent piece on an indoor wall.
