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!
Oh Ann, this is lovely! It adds a beautiful pop of spring colour to a dark and dreary winter. Just gorgeous! Sue x
Oh my, I love this wreath! I generally shy away from anything pink but, I’m ready to put this on my door. Great use for the giant embroidery hoop I have for quilting. It fits the resolution of making this my stash buster year.
I agree with you on finishes too. I made myself a promise not to purchase supplies for the next project until the last one is complete.
Thanks for all your great posts! If I was still in Ohio I’d come give you a hug!
I love the idea of reusing and repurposing. I have several old embroidery hoops just laying around taking up space. Now I know what I can do with them. Thank you Ann for the suggestion and the easy tutorial.
Everything you touch is marvelous!! Thank you for writing up a tutorial on it. Your ideas and blog encourages me to try so many things that I wouldn’t have thought of! Thanks again.
What a beauty = thanks!
Love your wreath. I was just thinking it would be nice to put something on my door to replace my Christmas wreath. Thanks. Kathryn
That is really sweet! And so simple! I like simple!
Just as an aside: Boy do I know what the not finishing what you start syndrome is like! As I’m trying to clear out and reduce I’m finding all manner of projects, etc. that have been lying unfinished for years. So don’t be too hard on yourself–I think it’s a common failing! It just means that we are multi-talented, extremely creative and probably over-extended!
Love the wreath. I have a large embroidery hoop (not sure where it came from!) that would work for this. What a great idea! This could be made to fit any season. Thanks for a wonderful and easy project!
