Coffee Filter Trees

I told you it was going to be the year of the trees around here! A few weeks ago I shared my Wood Biscuit Trees and now I’m giving you the details on these super easy and inexpensive Coffee Filter Tress. When I made them I thought I was being super original, turns out some people beat me to the punch but I thought I’d share them anyway :)

 

Coffee Filter Christmas Trees made from dollar store finds!

I love how bright and airy they are, and they pair so nicely with my wood trees :)

 

Coffee Filter Trees from dollar store supplies!

Here is a really quick tutorial:

Coffee Filter Tree Tutorial

 

I bought all of my supplies at the Dollar Tree! So if you are looking for an inexpensive holiday craft, this is it.

– 6″ Styrofoam Cones

– Coffee Filters

– Hot Glue

Coffee Filter Trees

 

Start by cutting the middle circles out of the coffee filter, and then carefully hot glue it around the cone. You can leave the layers as close or as wide as you want.

Coffee Filter Trees, so easy!

Keep wrapping until the filter creates a point!

    Taryn, your timing is perfect! I’ve just completed a coffee filter wreath for a friend who recently opened a coffee shop up here in the Ottawa Ontario area. I had ‘dyed’ the filters in coffee then let them dry – they ended up somewhat mottled in colour which gave the wreath a vintage appearance. Love that! I’m now going to copy your lead and do the same treatment with the tree idea you’ve just shared. Kathleen will be able to place these trees on her tables, shelves and displays. I know she’s going to love everything “a latte”! Kudos and huge thanks, Taryn!

Current snap shot of our main family room! We will Current snap shot of our main family room! We will be starting phase 1 in here later this year and I wanted to capture it as it stands now. Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
