Inspired by... Noel {Inspiration #4}
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today I have another Inspired Noel project for you! I fell in love with this idea the moment I saw it on Amanda's blog!
Amanda posted her wonderful tutorial HERE, so I won't repeat it. My trees are a little different, in that I used papier-mâché cones rather than Styrofoam. So instead of pinning the filters to the tree I used modge podge. Which may have been the attraction...
(Chief Inspector, Aslan a.k.a. Baby Kitty)
The fun part starts after you finish putting on the filters! I chose buttons, bells and bows to decorate this tree.
Oh, and some sweet little birds, too!
The smaller tree is dressed with roses and pearls, with a few red accents.
And the best part? Except for the cones and filters (pun intended –ha!) everything was from The Stash!
I hope these have inspired you to make some of your own! What would you use to decorate your Coffee Filter Trees?
Blessings,
Sharing inspiration here:

Oh June, these trees are adorable! That's the first time I've ever seen coffee-filter Christmas trees so I look forward to reading the tutorial. I bet they would look great too if the coffee filters were dyed. Thanks for sharing!
