Glittery Christmas Wreath from an Embroidery Hoop

By 20 Comments

I am going to create a Glittery Christmas Wreath from an Embroidery Hoop to add to my tablescape this year. I love the glitter and the unique style. And using an embroidery hoop, it couldn’t be easier.

Before the tutorial, I wanted to let you know that every 2nd Friday of the month Julie from Redhead Can Decorate hosts and organizes The Thrifty Style Team. This month is the Christmas Edition.

With talented bloggers and so many inspiring ideas, you are sure to get your Christmas decorating started. I will list all the links at the bottom of this post for your enjoyment.

 

Before that-let me show you how to design a Glittery Christmas Wreath from an Embroidery Hoop. It’s so easy and comes out so pretty for any home, as a gift or on a tablescape.

This is what you will need:
1-8 inch embroidery hoop ring (I only used the latched hoop)
1-bag glitter decorative filler balls (I bought mine from Hobby Lobby)
hot glue gun
hot glue sticks
scissors or sharp knife
metal welcome sign (I bought mine at the Dollar Store)
1-stem frosted greenery
wax paper
school glue
small craft brush
diamond dust glitter from Floral Craft
spray paint
Start by gathering your supplies. The glitter filler comes with gold and pink in the bag.
I chose to just use the pink for now. In a later project I will be using both. That will come in a blog post next week. So stay tuned…
Once the pink balls were gathered, I cut each one in half with a sharp pair of scissors. This allows them to sit flush on the embroidery hoop.
With hot glue I attached each half ball to the edge of the hoop.
Be sure to leave space for the “welcome” in-between the glitter balls. I marked the area with a pencil to ensure there was a specific space for the sign.
Here is the hoop filled with the glitter balls pictured above.
If desired paint the welcome with white spray paint. Or any other color that you like.
When the spray paint is dry, set the sign on a piece of wax paper, then slather the sign with mod podge using your small craft brush.
While the mod podge is wet-sprinkle on the diamond dust (or your favorite glitter) to give it a glittery-snow effect.
See what I mean about the snowy effect? I love it.
Use dabs of school glue to attach the welcome sign to the hoop. I tried using hot glue and the sign kept falling off. With the school glue, it hasn’t budged.
Cut the stem of greenery into small twigs. You will be adding these to the back of the wreath with your hot glue for depth and dimension.
There is no rhyme or reason to how you place the greenery twigs. What YOU like is best! Your Christmas Glittery Wreath will probably look similar this when you are done.
You can hang it with a larger pine wreath, use it as a tablescape decoration or give it as a gift.
It’s nice to make a one-of-a-kind Christmas decoration, isn’t it?
I hope you make one soon and share it with me on my Facebook page or on Instagram by using the hashtag #meeganmakesfeature  It will be fun to see what you come up with and share it in my feed!

    Beautiful! Great gift idea, could be personalized in sooo many ways. Wondering if diamond dust is easier than glitter to clean up? Merry Christmas!

    Meegan, this is simply beautiful and I especially love it combined with the pink! I didn’t even know about diamond dust until I saw that Paula had used it so I must get some of that stuff!
