Coffee Filter Wreath

I was looking for an idea to jazz up our front door a little when I came across this great wreath that I saw on the blog the little brown house; I absolutely fell in love with the idea of using coffee filters. There area a few differences between some of the material used  on her blog and the one I put together, but the results are still the same...........beautiful. Although I don't drink coffee, I already had white coffee filters in the kitchen cabinet so the only thing I had to buy for the project was the wreath. 

I twisted the bottom of the filter and then hot glued it to the wreath. I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out because at first the filters were laying flat against each other. Once I glued all the filters that I thought I needed, front and back, and fluffed them up it looked much better. I cut a piece of ribbon and hot glued it to the back of the wreath, for support. This is how it first turned out.

I added color by spray painting the wreath a light green color and got the result you see here.

Faux Coral Reef

I've always loved coral reefs and decided to try to make one. This is my Faux
Coral Reef that I glued pasta together and spray painted.

I hot glued baby bow tie pasta in a random order until I ended up
with a design that was eye catching.

The next step was to prime the pasta. Then I spray painted it with clear top coat and finished the piece by spray painting with Krylon Make It Stone textured paint.

I hope you enjoy this piece,
