Coffee Filter Wreath with knobs on Old Window Frame

Okay I'm not an expert and this was pretty darn simple and relatively cheap! Total I spent about $30.00 which was a pretty decent craft day for me! I got all the supplies at Hobby Lobby except the coffee filters which I got at Wal Mart and the dried flowers I got at Michael's because the selection at HL was pretty slim. Anyways here is the list of things and the how to! I got the window frame from my Nanny! She found that it was fixing to be thrown away and she just knew I could salvage it somehow....and she was right!

Old window frame..make sure you wipe it down with old wash cloth & make sure you take the hinges & extra nails out

200 brown coffee filters

medium size styrofoam wreath

brown jute twine

dried flowers

hot glue gun 

knobs

scissors 

drill

take the coffee filters and put them in a cone shape

cut the tip of the cone off 

at the end of the cone add quite a bit of hot glue (careful i burned the shit out of me)

you need to start on the inner part of wreath and work your way out

put pretty close together and work your way out after the center is filled

center is done now I have started working around the rest

it slowly starts to look fuller and like a wreath lol

you may need to stand it up because it gets harder to glue the filters down

lay face down to get the last bit of wreath

now all finished =) last few things like the dried flowers

add the jute twine and the dead flowers....flowers hot glue

take drill and drill holes for the knobs

get different knobs for a more antique look

hang the wreath onto the window frame after the knobs have been attached and look at this beautiful antique window frame that adds so much character to the casa!

She may not know kids tunes but by Gosh she knows the radio ones!

Okay so Hunter and Keigan where on their way to the grocery store yesterday (only them, this doesn't happen often lol) and Keigan always looks at the stars and starts to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and if you are listening to the radio by Gosh you better turn that shit down because she will be heard....whether you want her to or not! But anyways she was singing that song and Hunter let her finish and then told her "good job baby, but do you know any other kid songs?" and she replied " well I know I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors, I screamed his name till the neighbors called the cops" <- Miranda Lambert if y'all didn't know. Hunter starts to kinds laugh and he says " yeah well do you know any other kid songs...KID songs?" Keigan thinks for a minute and with a sigh (kinda like seriously?) and roll your eye statement she says " well.....I know Randy Rogers" hahaha Hunter just busted out laughing....and he told me "babe, I feel terrible because she doesn't know any kid songs...just "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" ya know?" I said "shiiiiiit I don't, why would you...shes almost 4 and she knows all the radio songs...I would say that's pretty bad ass" =) . LOVE LOVE her! She is so musically inclined and at such a young age! I sure hope she has my families rhythm, singing, and love for music!

She feels more comfortable in front of me

First things first - isn't this picture just adorable?

Love her to the moon and back....like 3944934x

Okay so the other night I had just gotten out of the bath and I noticed Jack (our little Maltese cockapoo) had found an old dryer sheet and had started to chew it up - why he does this I have no idea! Anyways I get dressed and I holler at him to stop and Keigan comes around the corner into the bathroom...mind you I always like to get dressed really fast because she has to point out every single thing on my body before I get dressed! lol! So she looks down at the mess that Jack has made and says with disbelief  "oh my goodness, what the hell is that?" I said "beg your pardon, what did you say?" she says once again with the same "getting on to the dog tone" " oh my goodness, what the hell is that?" So I kinda laughed it off and said go tell your Daddy what you saw and said. So she walks down the hallway and I follow. I said " Keigan tell Daddy what you saw and then what you said" She looks at him SAME TONE AND EVERYTHING and says "oh my goodness, what the HECK is that?" I said " Now Keigy you aren't in trouble just tell Daddy what you really said" She said " okay..oh my goodness, what the heck is that" hahaha So I guess the point of this story is she feels more comfortable in front of me...or maybe her Daddy is just scarier then I am! haha
