Faux Fur Antler Wreath

Ever since I saw the fall  faux fur wreath at Pier 1 Imports, I’ve been wanting to do my own.   I wanted to do mine up for Christmas.

When I first looked for faux fur I couldn’t find it.  I even went to a fabric store but it was about $35-$50 per yard.   Thankfully I didn’t buy it from there.

I finally found the most perfect of all faux furs!  Faux Fur Ribbon.

You won’t believe where I found some of the other materials I used.

Finger Knitted Christmas Wreath

I’ve come to the end of my finger knitting for this year.  I wanted to wrap it up with something Christmassy.

I love this Lion Brand yarn in Grass color. It knits up beautifully. I might even take up real knitting sometime soon.

Coffee Filter Christmas Wreath

This simple wreath didn’t start out so simple.  

I wanted the filters to be green.  I used different paints but I didn’t like the way they looked.  I tried dying them with food color but I didn’t like that either. Several attempts later, I gave up and the filters stayed white.

The materials required couldn’t be easier to get.

A Styrofoam wreath form, about 200 coffee filters, hot glue and decorations of your choice.
