Coffee Filter Valentine's Wreath

So, I've had a package of coffee filters laying around for quite awhile now. When I say awhile, I mean ever since we got our Keurig over a year ago...ahem...It would be a shame to waste them, right? ANYway I decided to make a wreath to gussy up my antlers for Valentine's Day.
Here's how it turned out ~

It's a bit shabby and rustic, but still has some sparkle and I just love it.   And the best part is, I didn't spend a penny!   Here's how I did it ~

I cut a wreath shape out of an old cardboard box for the base. (Doesn't need to be perfect)

Gather the filter like so, and secure with a staple or glue ~

I used good ol' Elmer's glue and added just a little water to it.  Dip just the edges of the filters in the glue and then into the glitter ~

Be sure not to use too much glue, or you'll end up with floppy filters like this ~

Then just start hot gluing your little clusters to the form~

Work your way around the wreath filling in and fluffing as you go, until you end up with something like this ~

As you can see I topped it off with a sweet little "Love" banner.  I used some burlap ribbon, cut out some letters and glitter-fied them, and attached it to some twine.  Super simple!

Have a LOVEly day!
