Coffee Filter Letters

Good morning Lil Luna readers, it’s Sarah here from over at Boxwood Clippings and I’m excited to share a project with you today.

A couple of years ago, I made a coffee-filter and cupcake-liner wreath that still hangs in my living room today.

Although it was quite a time-consuming project, the results were well worth it, and I’ve always wanted to make more.

This time I thought I’d mix it up a bit, and make letters instead of a regular wreath. The letters could be used as a single monogram, but I decided, “why not create a whole word, like ‘LOVE’?”

Again, I’m really pleased with the results and have already thought of many different ways I can use this both in the home, and for parties. But best of all, the whole project cost under $12! Holler!

To make this project you will need:

About 200 coffee filters ($1.25 at Walmart)

Cardboard (I just used a shipping box I had: $0!)

Glue Gun and Sticks (I had the gun, $5 on glue)

About half a swimming noodle per letter ($1 each at the Dollar Tree)

Pencil and Scissors.

HOW TO MAKE THE BASE:


HOW TO ADD COFFEE FILTERS:

Don’t you think this would be spectacular at a wedding?

How fab is that?! Can’t wait to make my own!

    These are darling! Do you think I could dye the coffee filters before doing this and get the same beautiful results? I would love to hang each of my daughters’ initials in their room and also do BAPTIZED for above my daughters dessert table at her baptism and 8th b-day party next year (although I suppose that could be left white).
