Frugal Friday : Coffee Filter Wreath

We got a new coffee maker a while ago and it used different filters then our old one...so instead of throwing them out I saved them for a rainy day. I thought I would make a coffee filter wreath to add to my Easter decor. I was really frugal and used some left over foam core  from my deer head to make a base to glue the filters to. (instead of a wreath form) It worked out well!

Here is part of the process...

 

it looked awful! I was almost going to quit...but thought I would wait to see what the finished project was...and I was glad I did!

Here is how it turned out!

 cute right!?

I think I am going to make a page book wreath next!!! (Kayla, you never heard me say that!)

Frugal Friday : Picture magnet

Remember when I made the button magnets earlier in the week? Well, there was something that I thought I could reuse...Do you remember what it was?! Here is the picture from Monday:

 The metal circle the magnets came on!

 I still had this on the fridge..Our Christmas card photo from December...

 So I used the metal circle and traced it around us!

 cut it out...and glued it to the circle.

 Then I put one of the magnets on the back....

and now have a pretty photo magnet on the fridge! (without the Christmas saying!)

Easy!! I love reusing materials!

Frugal Friday : More Tin Cans

Tin cans are a great thing to reuse. We don't eat thing that come in a lot of cans...but we eat a fair bit of soup in the winter. ( I really have to start making my own! I have before and it is soooo good..and easy...) Anyway,  for this you need tin cans and some paper. (I used some textured wallpaper)

You just wrap the paper along the can...

and glue....

and then you have a pretty vase for some flowers.. or a plant

 

 They would be pretty painted too!

What have you been reusing lately?
