DIY Tree Floc

I've wanted a Flocked tree for years but can never bring myself to spend the hundreds of dollars they usually are.  Especially when my current artificial tree is fine. I came across this post  and decided to try it for myself.
 Here is the before of my tree:

Here is the After:

I'm pretty happy with it :)   Didn't really take long either. Yay for fake snow ;)

DIY Coffee Filter Wreath

I wanted a cute new wreath to hang on my kitchen window.  But I didn't really want to spend a lot.  I've been seeing tons of coffee filter wreaths on pinterest so I thought I'd give it a go since I pretty much had everything.  Here she is!

This is what you need:
Foam wreath ( I used a pool noodle and just taped it together)
Fabric to cover wreath ( I used an old sheet)
Coffee filters (150-200)
Hot Glue Gun with lots of glue sticks
Paint colour of your choice
Glitter
Foam brush for paint
That's it!
I pretty much had all of this so My wreath was under $3!!

1. Glue fabric to your foam wreath. If you skip this, the hot glue melts the foam and won't stick to your wreath.
2. Scrunch up the filter. I usually loosely folded it into quarters.
3. Glue Filter to wreath.
4. After they're all on your wreath, water down your paint a bit.  Then dip your foam brush in the paint. 
Paint your wreath by soaking the tips of the filters.

5. Immediately sprinkle the glitter on the wet paint.

That's it!  It's a bit time consuming but I love mine!
