DIY Embroidery Hoop Wreath

Embroidery hoop crafts are perfect for Spring! Here, I show you how to make an embroidery hoop wreath in just a few minutes with a few supplies.

I jumped on the bandwagon and made my own minimalistic DIY embroidery hoop wreath in just a few minutes!

It’s the second Wednesday of the month which means it’s time for another Inspire My Creativity Link Party!

This month’s theme was embroidery hoops.  I wanted to be super unique and come up with something never been done before.  Yeah, that didn’t happen.

So, I decided to jump on the bandwagon of making an embroidery hoop wreath!

I had already made this wreath for our front door so I didn’t really need to make another big wreath.

A floral wreath made with a gold hoop, faux flowers in rich jewel tones - a deep wine red and ombre purple - and eucalyptus leaves.

Last year, I made a simple greenery wreath that paired perfectly with an old frame.  It’s been sitting on our DIY farmhouse shelves for quite some time now.

I decided to sorta combine those two wreaths into one.  Use the minimalistic feel of the gold hoop wreath combined with an old frame like the greenery wreath!

DIY embroidery hoop wreath: step-by-step tutorial

Supplies needed:

All the supplies needed to make a DIY embroidery hoop wreath, laid out on a brown surface. Steps of lamb's ear leaves, faux berries, navy blue ribbon, and a plain wood embroidery hoop.

Step 1: Wrap the ribbon around the embroidery hoop.

I started by gluing the edge of the ribbon to the embroidery hoop.

A woman's hand holds a wooden embroidery hoop frame; the end of the navy blue ribbon is attached to the inside of the hoop with glue. The other embroidery hoop wreath supplies - steps of faux flowers and leaves - sit alongside the hoop.

Then, I wrapped the ribbon around the entire embroidery hoop twice and glued the edge to the hoop.

Step 2: Start attaching the faux flowers and lamb’s ear leaves with glue.

With the ribbon on, I picked off some flowers and the lamb’s ear I wanted to use.  You see some blueberries in the photos above that I was going to use, then decided against it!

I glued the lamb’s ear pieces on first, slightly off-centered to the right.  This hoop is small, so you barely need any flowers at all.

Last, I glued the two mini roses on top of the lamb’s ear!

The Finished Product: An easy embroidery hoop wreath perfect for Spring!

It’s so little and cute!

I cut a piece of the same blue ribbon into a much thinner strip and tied it to an old frame my mom picked up for me at a yard sale a few years ago.

I’m still kinda kicking myself for not getting the velvet ribbon because I think that would look better?  Prettier?  Nicer?  Not sure of what word I’m looking for.

I do love how it’s not complicated, easy to make, small, and looks great paired with the gold frame!

I think my mom said this frame was 50 cents at a yard sale!

For now I have it set in our open shelves built ins in the living room.  But, I have a feeling it may make its way over to the farmhouse shelves in our dining room soon.

Now, let’s see what everyone else made with embroidery hoops this month!

  1. Your embroidery hoop wreath looks great in the frame! I will have to look for a good frame when I go to the thrift store next time so I can do a similar project.

  2. Love the wreath! So cute!

    I’m sorry to hear about the PPD. I had it with my daughter and it definitely sucked the creativity out of me. I like to say that I had it for 6 years. 😉 Haha. If you ever need someone to talk to, send me a message. PPD is no joke. <3
