Coffee Filter Wreath All Dressed up for Halloween

Last year we hosted a bridal shower for a dear childhood friend of Leigh's and we made a coffee filter wreath to use for the shower.  The wreath did not have any decorations on it but was just perfect for the vintage country themed shower. Since then, it has been decorated for several holidays - Original Coffee Filter WreathValentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day.

This year, we went a little batty with it for Halloween!

The bat die cuts came from the .99 cent store last year and we also added a few spiders suspended from thread. It all looks perfect with our Halloween Book Page Art from 2013.

The bats were glued on to small clothes pins and pinned onto the wreath. The thread that the spiders were suspended on was tied onto toothpicks and inserted directly into the foam wreath. The toothpicks are below the coffee filters so the thread looks like spider webs.

Such a great look for a buck - don't you think? Our convertible coffee filter wreath will be around for years to come as it is so easy to decorate for all the seasons.

Wishing you all a wonderful week of beautiful Fall weather!
