Oh, my goodness. I bought the components for an embroidery hoop wreath at least 3 months ago. I think it is about time I show you How To Make An Embroidery Hoop Wreath, don’t you?

 

I was down in California watching some of the grandkiddos after a new grandbaby was born. My son and daughter-in-law insisted that I take a break. I already knew what I wanted to do. Head to Hobby Lobby and get some inspiration.

I could envision what I wanted to buy and make. I took my time walking around, browsing and enjoying a little time away. I walked out of the store with exactly what I needed To Make An Embroidery Hoop Wreath.

What I bought:

Embroidery Hoops in 3 sizes

Raffia Wrapped Wire

Leafy Stems

Green Moss

I also needed:

Hot Glue Gun

Hot Glue Sticks

Pine Cones or Sugar Berries

 

Let me show you How To Make An Embroidery Hoop Wreath…

I took leafy stems completely apart, so I could attach the smaller pieces to the embroidery hoop.

Using hot glue I began attaching the leaves and fern pieces. It took a little patience to wait for the hot glue to “hold” the leaves on the hoop.

The next step was to add the inside hoop. This created a more sturdy wreath and allowed me more area to add the fern.

Now that the leaves and fern pieces were right where I wanted them, I attached the sugar berries. Once again, with hot glue.

It was looking pretty good at this point. Using the raffia wrapped wire, I wrapped it around the hoop. I started at the leaves and all the way around. I pulled the wire taunt to keep it from loosening up.

My final step was to add sprigs of moss. I wanted it to look natural and loose. Almost like it was growing under the leaves and around the wreath.

Can I just say, it is exactly what I envisioned.

With the rest of the hoops, I would like to make more to hang as a “set” in my living room mirror or above our bed. What are your thoughts?

I also have an idea for a Christmas decoration. That post is coming sometime soon…
