Coffee Bar Wreath

 If you love coffee as much as I do, why not celebrate it in your home décor? Today I’m sharing this cozy Coffee Bar Wreath I created for Clear Scraps. It’s the perfect accent for a kitchen nook, coffee station, or gift for your favorite coffee lover!

This project combines wood tones, layered embellishments, and a touch of rustic charm for a warm and inviting look.


Supplies Used



  • Acrylic Paint (various brown tones + cream)
  • Patterned paper (neutral/linen look)
  • Adhesive - Mod Podge & wood glue
  • Burlap and lace ribbon
  • Hot glue gun
  • Red cardstock (for hearts)
  • Sanding block (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Paint the Wood Circles

Start by painting 6 of the wood circles in a rich brown tone. I applied a thin coat of paint to give more of a stained look. This adds depth and gives that rustic coffee house feel.

Let dry completely.


2. Cover the Decorative Circles

For the coffee-themed circle accents:

  • Trace the circle pieces onto patterned paper and cut or die cut as I did.
  • Adhere to 5 of the wood circles with mod podge.
  • Sand the edges
  • Apply mod podge over the paper to seal.


3. Assemble the Wreath

Lay out the wood circles onto a wreath form created with cardboard before gluing. My wreath form measures 10 inches in diameter and is about 1 1/4 inches wide.


Once you’re happy with placement:

  • Secure them together with wood glue.
  • Allow everything to fully set before moving.


4. Add the Coffee Elements

Paint the chipboard pieces with acrylic paint. Let dry.


Adhere the coffee-themed chipboard embellishments (coffee cup, beans, creamer, coffee bar sentiment) to the patterned circles. 


5. Create the Statement Bow

This bow is such a focal point!

  • Use wide burlap ribbon layered with lace ribbon.
  • Create multiple loops for fullness.
  • Secure the center with hot glue or wire.
  • Adhere to the left side of the wreath with hot glue.

Add a creamer embellishment to the center of the bow for a charming finishing touch.


I absolutely love how this wreath turned out — warm, welcoming, and full of personality! It makes my coffee corner feel extra cozy every morning.

Card Inspiration

The inspiration for this card design comes from Craft Roulette Episode #306

Parameters are:

My first step is to stamp the cake and present. Color them with Prismacolor Pencils using summer desert colors. Fussy cut. 

To create the "chalkboard" effect stamp images on black cardstock with Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Smudge a little white ink to the edges and in a few random spots. Trim this piece down to approximately 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches.

Make a 5x7 inch card base with black cardstock. Score and fold a 7 x 10 inch piece of cardstock at 5 inches along the 10 inch side. 

Cut pink card stock to 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. A piece of stripe pattern card is cut to approximately 4 x 6 inches.

A scalloped pink border is die cut.


Adhere the pink mat and the striped card stock to the black card base.


Add the "chalkboard" piece and border.

Finishing

To complete the card design add the cake and present images with foam tape.




This playful birthday card is perfect for celebrating someone who refuses to age past 29! I love how the bold frosting and whimsical chalk details make this card feel fun and full of personality.
