Watercolor Coffee Filter Wreath | Spring Wreath | DIY Wreath | CreativeCainCabin.comTodays post is brought to you by: Crafting with Grama Red, a 95 year old amazing lady that still loves to get her craft on.

Watercolor Coffee Filter Wreath | Spring Wreath | DIY Wreath | CreativeCainCabin.comIf you follow me on IG you’ve had a glimpse of what Grama Red’s been up to…..she’s getting a head start on her spring crafting. As you know I’m always looking for things she can do, with her being almost totally blind it’s always a challenge. But I ran across this paper flower tutorial, and decided to adapt it for a wreath. 

Watercolor Coffee Filter Wreath | Spring Wreath | DIY Wreath | CreativeCainCabin.comAll you need is a wreath form, watercolor paints, a brush, coffee filters, and a hot glue gun. You can purchase everything at the dollar store too, so it ends up being a very inexpensive project, with lot’s of bang for your buck.

Watercolor Coffee Filter Wreath | Spring Wreath | DIY Wreath | CreativeCainCabin.comGram was anxious to get started so I painted one flower to give her an idea of what we were doing and she did the rest. All you have to do is add color to each petal, and splatter color onto each flower giving it a speckled effect. Next hot glue them to the form.

Watercolor Coffee Filter Wreath | Spring Wreath | DIY Wreath | CreativeCainCabin.comThe great thing about this project is there’s no wrong way to do it. The project did take about 2 1/2 hours to complete but Gram worked on it over a 2 day period.

Watercolor Coffee Filter Wreath | Spring Wreath | DIY Wreath | CreativeCainCabin.comIt’s always a good feeling to know she’s spending her time being creative rather than having to rely on the tv for entertainment. Next week she’ll be busy in the barn helping me and my Aunt get the chicken coop built, so stay tuned for that. We plan on having laying and meat chickens. We’re getting 50 in the first batch and once they go to market we will get another 50. 

Watercolor Coffee Filter Wreath | Spring Wreath | DIY Wreath | CreativeCainCabin.comI can’t wait…..hubby doesn’t want them at our place so at Grama Reds they will be. I’ll be back with pictures once the build process begins. Be prepared we are using all salvaged lumber from both our homes so it’s going to be quite the coop I’m sure. No fancy crafted place, just usable and free.

    I appreciate learning easy-to-do projects because I offer free art & crafting lessons to the children in my subdivision during the month of June each year. Fresh ideas are always appreciated.

    How precious is that!! I wonder if Grandma is blind due to macular degeneration….So many of us have it.

      Windi, Were going to keep ours under heat lamps in the coop and hope it stays warm enough for them 🙂 How long do you keep yours inside the house?

        Dawn this is our first experience [well, hubby grew up on a chicken farm] so he says we have 2-4 weeks depending on outside temps. It was 70 degrees here a few days ago, snow and sleet yesterday, and a rainy 38 degrees today.

    Bravo to you and Grandma Red! I pray to God I can assist in building a chicken coop when I’m her age!! Wow. Enjoy the moments spent with her. You’re so right that it’s a plus she doesn’t sit in front of the ‘tube’ all day. Hmmm…wonder if that’s a key to her longevity? I’m not at all crafty (would rather build a barn, etc.) but I just might try this Spring wreath!

      Lisa, She is such a hoot and loves to get in there and be a part of everything. I’m with you the barn building is better than crafting any day.
