The 9th Giveaway of our 12 days of Giveaways Feltjar

A little less than a year ago, I bought a wonderful set of felted hearts off etsy.  The shop was called Feltjar.  I adore my little hearts.  Laura, the owner of the shop, sponsored one of our first giveaways and gave away a beautiful felted rabbit.  Well, she's teamed with us again.  This time, she's giving one lucky follower 5 felted acorns in red and green shades.

Aren't they precious?

Coffee Filter Wreath

I saw an adorable coffee filter wreath on a blog, http://thelittlebrownhouse.us/2010/04/08/frugal-friday-coffee-wreath/ and decided to put my own spin on it.  I think this is adorable but I wanted a fuller wreath.  I folded the coffee filters in quarters, put three filters together, and attached them to the foam wreath using a straight pin.  I tried the u-shaped pins but that was a craft fail for sure.  The coffee filters fell out.  The pin works much better.  After I tightly packed the filters in, I fluffed them. 

I added a ribbon, before completing the wreath, so it was nicely hidden by the filters.  My favorite part of the wreath is the flower rosettes. I will be doing a tutorial on making them soon.  Believe me, I am no seamstress. These were easy and are adorable! I think the end result is wonderful!
