I made a new type of coffee filter wreath recently.
I’ve wanted to make a bigger chalkboard coffee filter wreath ever since I made a little one in February (below) but then I got the idea to make the center so that you can take it out and change it for the seasons or just because!
How To Make a Coffee Filter Wreath with Interchangeable Center
I’m not going to do a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a coffee filter wreath (here is the one for the wreath above – I used the same techniques). The only thing different is that I used foam core instead of cardboard and I decided to dye my filters this time so I’ll show that.
I didn’t have any food coloring or fabric dye to use but I do have tons of those little bottles of craft paint. So I put a bit of water in a bucket and squirted some craft paint in it and stirred. Then I soaked my filters for about 30 minutes.
Then I hung them to dry. It took a day to dye and dry all the filters I needed since I did them in batches.
Once I had my stack of aqua coffee filters I was ready to started gluing!
When I got to the center I turned my filters in the opposite direction so there would be a nice finished edge.
For the interchangeable center. I made a disk from poster board and printed an image from the Graphics Fairy onto some scrapbook paper. You can find the image here.
I wrapped the image around the poster board and taped it on the back. I attached it to the center of the wreath with some double stick tape.
My thought is that I can change out the center whenever I want. I could print something with pumpkins on it or fall leaves or Easter bunnies or botanicals etc.
Coffee filters are $1 for a package at the dollar store. I normally just use cardboard or recycle a cereal box for the form. So you can make this wreath for practically nothing – which I guess is why they are so popular now 
! A very frugal decorating idea!
Adorable Manuela! I’m thinking of all the possibilities…Mimi
Hi Manuela~
This is so pretty! The blue filters really do a lot to frame that sun flower! It looks so pretty hanging there.
I love budget decorating ideas. I’ve never made a coffee filter wreath…but should! They’re pretty.

It’s really easy but tedious
I usually watch a movie while making one.
Precious!
I love that color blue, Manuela! Such a good idea to make it so that you can change out the graphic in the center.
Thanks Kathy! I think it’s a good idea
Love it! Thanks for sharing this beauty with me! I have been contemplating changing my kitchen to sunflowers:) Have a blessed day, HUGS!
Cute and very versatile – thanks for sharing.
It came out so pretty! I’ve seen lots of coffee filter crafts on line but not one that is dyed. Neat!
Very pretty. Love the sunflower in the center.

What an “Oh, so pretty” wreath! You have created something so lovely. I can’t wait to try it in a variety of colors.
Thanks so much for sharing your clever project!
Blessings,

Thank you Carolynn! I hope you try it as it’s really a very frugal project with a lot of impact.
Really cute and I love all of the seasonal possibilities with these!
Oh now you’ve really got me thinking about it… A new sweet autumn wreath for my china cabinet would be wonderful and I do like your idea about an interchangeable center. You’re one of the most clever gals I know!
Thank you Vee! You’re always so supporting of everything I do. I appreciate that!
Very frugal and very pretty! I love it, I haven’t made one of those yet, but I have a bunch of filters saved aside for it…I must do it this fall!
Hugs, Cindy
Love this! It turned out just beautiful! Life to the full, Melissa

Love how the aqua color of the filters turned out. And a great idea to have an interchangeable backing. Such a wonderful project with the simplest of supplies. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Tammy
