Easy Floral Embroidery Hoop Wreath. Make this floral wreath with an embroidery hoop and basic craft store items. An inexpensive way to dress up your door!
Valentine’s Day is around the corner, so I decided to make a door wreath that would work for that and early spring as well. I wanted something inexpensive and relatively fast, so I decided on this easy floral embroidery hoop wreath. I’ve seen them on Pinterest for a year or two, so I definitely did not come up with the concept myself. I did, however, put my very own spin on this project and tried to make this wreath different from others I have seen. Most are very minimal, so I decided to make mine full and colorful.

Embroidery Hoop Wreath Supplies Needed
- 18 inch Embroidery/Quilt Hoop
- 2 small floral bushes (similar choice #1) (similar choice #2)
- Wide grosgrain ribbon
- Floral wire
- Wire cutters
- Scissors
Assembly
- Put your embroidery hoop on a flat surface with the screw at the top.
- Place the swags, ends overlapping, in the middle of the screw mechanism like pictured below.
- Using florist wire, attach both swags to the hoop.
- Fluff and separate the swags. If necessary, use more florist wire to attach the swags to the sides of the hoop.
- Cut a piece of ribbon about 1 1/2 yards long. (If you want the tails of your bow longer, make the ribbon piece 2 yards long.)
- Loop the ribbon around the hoop at the top where the swags are wired.
- Criss-cross the ribbon around a wreath hanger and finish off by tying a bow.
It took me longer to tie the bow than it did to attach the swags! The total cost of this project was just under $35.00. The swags were on sale for $9.99, the hoop was just over $11.00, and the ribbon was $1.99. I splurged a little on the swags, but I love the way this project turned out. I can feasibly leave this on my door for months, even though we all know I probably won’t!
If you’re wondering, I did actually hang this wreath on my front door, but we were in the middle of a snow storm so I couldn’t take pictures on the porch. Maybe when it warms up!
This is the time of year to treat yourself to something fun. It could be a bouquet of fresh flowers, a set of new pillows for your sofa, or a new wreath for your front door. It doesn’t really matter what it is, and it doesn’t have to be expensive…but treating yourself makes your heart feel just a little bit lighter. So go ahead…do something nice for yourself!
I can identify with your goal this year of finishing jobs you started. Finish is my word for this year. I have so many projects that need to be finished! I hope I can stick to my goal.
It’s rare that I comment, but I can’t hold it in — I love the wreath and I can’t wait to make one for our home!!
I understand the snow storm – we’re under quite a bit ourselves here in Michigan! The photo on the partial open door is very creative and pleasing to the eye – a perfectly different way to capture the beauty of your creativity and the falling snow. Thanks for sharing!
I had saved an embroidery hoop I inherited from my grandmother. Now I have just the idea of what to repurpose it from you Ann. Thank you! Very pretty!
Ann, love the wreath!
I too start projects and get half way through and start another . In fact my word for this Year is commitment ….once I start something plow ahead to completion !!
Thank you for sharing and have a relaxing Sunday .
Love this wreath Ann and it’s so quick and simple! Planning a trip to Hobby Lobby in the morning and I’m looking for these beautiful swags. I think I will attach mine to a simple grapevine wreath that I already have. Thanks for the inspiration and Happy Sunday!
Love your ideas
Such a lovely sweet wreath. I’m in Columbus, Ohio and you know what the weather has been like the past couple of weeks. Could definitely use something with the promise of spring to brighten things up. Love the wreath. Also, can’t wait to try the scones. I love anything lemon.
Love Love Love the wreath! Thanks for sharing all of your ideas!
You are so right,Ann. After all the Christmas decoration is put away it just feels bare. For a few days it’s nice. However, like you say you realize you need something. I love the idea of using embroidery hoops. I am goIng to make a smaller one for my kitchen window.
In Alabama we are having unusually cold weather and it gets depressing. Having a project is good therapy to do on the days you don’t want to get out.
Thanks for inspiring and sharing.
Have a nice Sunday Ann & thank-you for the how-to for the pretty wreath.
