Easy Embroidery Hoop Wreath

This wreath really doesn't require too many supplies! For a basic wreath, like mine, you will need an embroidery hoop (I find a lot of these at thrift stores) floral of your choice, floral wire, and some form of twine or ribbon.

I chose to use a vintage inspired lace ribbon I found at a thrift store.

The first thing I like to do is arrange my floral on the hoop, before adhering it with wire.

In order to get my faux olive branches to fit, I had to cut down the stem. I do this with an all purpose tool, my husband has. You can always purchase a stem cutter too.

Once I cut the stems down, I bent the floral a bit to align it with the hoop. This helps when attaching the floral to the hoop.

You can always use hot glue to attach floral to the hoop; but I like wire because it can easily be removed. My style taste changes here and there; and wire allows me to easily change the floral.

I just wrapped my piece of wire around the floral and hoop, to attach them together. I only applied the wire to the stem area of the floral (as shown.) Add as much as you need.

Covering your wire can be done with various items. I have used twine before; but used lace ribbon this time.

You can attach the ribbon any way you please. I am going to show you a technique I like. I placed my ribbon over the hoop (wire and floral) as shown. Then I just pull the two tales around the back and through the loop. This allows me to easily remove it as well.

I added three pieces of ribbon, in a row, to cover my wire. Use as many pieces as you need.

I personally did not want to use only the ribbon to cover the wire. It felt like it needed something else. I added this floral to help fill the empty space.

Once again, I wanted a way to remove the floral; so I just placed it through the holes of the ribbon. If your ribbon doesn't have holes, I would suggest applying ribbon over the stem and tying it to hold the floral.

This step is really personal preference. You can always hang your wreath using your hoop. I attached a piece of the lace ribbon for a prettier look.

All done! This particular look may not be your thing; but you can use any floral you want to meet your taste.
