If you're looking for a creative and budget-friendly way to add a touch of spring charm to your home, this DIY wreath featuring wild white daisies with colorful tips is the perfect project. Using coffee filters and a few craft supplies, you can create a delicate, floral masterpiece that’s both whimsical and elegant.
- Coffee filters
- Yellow and pink stamp ink
- One soft stamp sponge
- Scissors
- Cardboard
- Hot glue
- Twine or craft string
- Embellishments (such as jewels)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Create the Wreath Support
Start with an old cardboard box and cut out a medium-sized section. Make sure it’s long enough to form a round shape, then bend it into a circle. Use hot glue to securely attach the ends, forming the base of your wreath.
2. Prepare the Coffee Filter Flowers
Take a coffee filter and fold it in half. Then, fold it in half again, and repeat this process two more times until the filter forms a cone shape. Use scissors to trim the top edges, choosing either a rounded or angled cut. Tip: To speed up the process, stack multiple filters and fold them together before cutting!
3. Bunch & Tie Your Flowers
Gently bunch each coffee filter by grabbing the end and securing it with twine or craft string. Repeat this step until you have enough flowers to cover your wreath base.
4. Attach the Flowers to the Wreath
Before using hot glue, be sure to protect your fingers! Apply hot glue to the base of each flower, then press it onto the cardboard ring. Continue this step until the wreath is filled with beautiful, full flowers.
5. Add Color to the Daisy Tips
Dip a soft stamp sponge into yellow and pink stamp ink, then gently dab the tips of the flowers. This gives them a smooth, colorful gradient effect. The combination of white, yellow, and pink enhances the wild daisy look beautifully.
6. Finish with Embellishments
For extra charm, attach small jewels to select flowers. This detail adds a subtle sparkle and complements the soft color accents.
7. Attach a Hanging String
Flip the wreath over and secure a piece of craft string to the back, making it easy to hang and display your creation.
