DIY spring hoop wreath

For this spring hoop wreath you will need the following supplies:

• 1 – embroidery hoop – any size (I reused a 14″ hoop from a previous project)
• faux lemons
• faux ferns
• other faux floral stems that you like (I used 2 different kids of white sprays to add texture)
• glue gun and glue
• wire snips
• floral wire
• ribbon

 

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

The first step to making this spring hoop wreath is to lay out your supplies and determine how you would like to arrange your materials on the hoop. [The author] chose to put the ferns down first as a background and then added the other elements on top. I played around with the arrangement until it felt just right.

Step 2

Now that you have your spring hoop wreath laid out, start to secure the greens and flowers to the frame. Use some floral wire to wrap the wire around the base of the stems to keep them in place. Don’t worry if they aren’t completely secure. We will be adding a final layer of hot glue to keep everything from slipping at the end.

Step 3

The next step to making this spring hoop wreath is to add your lemons and ribbon. [The author] hot glued two lemons together to form a pair and then attached them to the wreath. See, it took some coercing, but [the author] was able to secure the lemons to the frame with a lot of hot glue and a few minutes of holding them in place. Next you will want to remove any floral wire that is still showing. Make sure that if you have to remove the wire, that your elements will stay in place. And use some hot glue to secure any greens. [The author] ended up just removing one section of wire towards the top and used a small dot of hot glue to keep the vine in place. And now add your ribbon if you choose. [The author] tied a simple bow and secured the ribbon in the middle with some hot glue.

Step 4

Now, this step is one of the most important steps in making this spring hoop wreath. Once your wreath is the way you want it to look, turn it over to the back. Take the hot glue and add dots of glue on the back of any wired sections. This will keep the wire in place and in turn keep your wreath elements from falling forwards when hung on your front door.
