Spring is in the air! It’s time to put away the drab colors of Winter.
The pretty little cross is a recent gift from my kindred spirit, Erika! I chose pink dogwoods as the base for my small tabletop wreath just so I could use this lovely present. Once my wreath was finished, though, something was missing. Until I stumbled across this DIY Coffee Filter Flowers post from Thistlewood Farms. Adding paper roses was the perfect finishing touch!
Complete side note… I created a Vintage Peony Wreath in 2014 that I had completely forgotten about until this pin. Yep. Peonies from coffee filters. If you are curious, here is a photo.
Dying the coffee filters does take time, as does letting them dry, which I actually posted about ages ago RIGHT HERE. The folding process is pretty simple, and while I’d like to tell you all about it, I really didn’t deviate from the tutorial in my pin.
Can you tell the white ones are purchased silk roses and the pink roses are from coffee filters?
The paper roses in my white rabbit planter (a gift when our son was born) came out of the dye a bit darker, but still the white ones were from a store and the pink roses are folded coffee filters. Really! I can’t make this up! The darling sheet metal bunnies were purchased in Tulsa at a flea market fair called Two Sisters and Junk. I tied their pastel bows with ribbon from my stash.
Happy Spring to me!
