Coffee Filter Wreath + How to Live Forever

        John 3:16 NIV
        "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

I think it's amazing that once this life is through, just because I believe in Jesus Christ, I get to live FOREVER. And, in the words of Prince, "Eternity means forever..." Sorry, I had to, the song is stuck in my head. Also, my husband, Hank, is not just a Prince fan, but he's always telling me how amazed he is at the amount of people that go through the motions of life without even thinking about how they will spend eternity. Have you thought about it? Did you know that your belief is how you get there? John 3:16 says it all!

This craft project we've been working on is what reminded me of this scripture. It's a coffee filter wreath. The circle has no end, and neither does eternity.

 

We've seen these ALL over Pinterest, but lets be honest, what haven't we seen on Pinterest? We didn't have much to spend on our next craft, so this is definitely budget-friendly. Here's how we did it:

      

 

 

 

 

Supplies: One foam wreath form, hot glue gun and sticks, and coffee filters

First, heat up your glue gun. Then, grab a coffee filter and pinch the bottom.

Put hot glue on the pinched portion(bottom) of the filters and glue them around the form. We glued them pretty close together, but you could space them out a bit, depending on the look you're going for.

Your wreath starts to take shape.

This is a time consuming process, so have a little fun with it!

Attach ribbon of any color and hang wherever you like!

This project took about one hour and thirty minutes. We really loved it hanging over our dining room mirror. We've also seen these wreaths dip dyed in tea, or even spray painted. You can really customize it to work with any room and color palette!
