Spring Wreath Made From Embroidery Hoops & Book Pages
7 Materials
$20

Easy
When we added the Repurposed Chairsto our entry last fall, I made wreaths that cost less than $2 to hang on the chairs. These wreaths were perfect for fall and winter, but I really wanted to change things up after we hung the framed botanical prints and brightened the walls in our living room a couple of weeks ago.

While out shopping at some of my favorite thrift stores, I came across a bag of {aff} embroidery hoops. Ever since I made the embroidery hoop Christmas ornaments last year, embroidery hoops are one of my new favorite things. There are so many possibilities you can do with them and every project I have done with them, I love.
I stained the embroidery hoop a dark color and while it dried, I taped two book pages together so they were big enough to fit the back of the embroidery hoop. If you had a bigger book, one page would work fine. I traced the stained embroidery hoop over the taped book pages and cut it out.
Then, I hot glued the cut-out book page to the back of the embroidery hoop.
Next, I used floral twine to tie {aff} spring greenery to the top of the embroidery hoop.
After that, I made a ribbon bow and hot glued it at the top of the spring greenery.
I used raffia to hang the spring wreath to the repurposed chairs. See, simple to do and cute to boot!!!
I think it would be beautiful to have these in a bunch of different sizes and make a feature wall with them.
