Equipment

  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors

Materials

  • Coffee Filters I used the small 1-4 cup size
  • Ribbon 2 inch wide
  • Tape
  • Coffee optional

Instructions

  • Note: If you want your floral garland stained, I recommend staining the coffee filters before starting the projects.
  • To stain, dampen a cloth with coffee and rub it over the coffee filters. You don't have to soak the filters; just lightly dampen.
  • Once they are dry, begin the project.
  • Cut the ribbon to the length you desire the garland.
  • Begin by making the flowers by twisting the center of the coffee filter. The number of flowers will depend on the length of your garland.
  • Secure with tape around the twisted area.
  • Next, prepare several holly-shaped leaves.
  • Fold the coffee filter in half and cut half-moon shapes from the open side of the filter.
  • Then, open the filter and fold it over in the center. Twist the bottom of the leaf and, once again, use a small piece of tape to secure the leaf shape.
  • Spread the ribbon on a protected surface and begin to add the flowers and leaves to the ribbon with hot glue.
  • Place them randomly until the ribbon is full.

Notes

I should have stained my coffee filters in the beginning. However, after the garland was completed, I added the coffee stain, and it still looks great.
Another option is to use brown coffee filters. However, your garland will be much darker.
