DIY Spring Embroidery Hoop Wreath
I’ve been busy decorating my home for spring. I wanted a new wreath to hang on the mirror over our fireplace and made a DIY Spring Embroidery Hoop Wreath that I love.
DIY Spring Embroidery Hoop Wreath
The inspiration for this wreath came from a bag of embroidery hoops that I found in my attic. One of my good friends bought the hoops at a local thrift store knowing that I would find a crafty use for them. I had forgotten all about them and when I recently found them, I was inspired to make a spring wreath for our mantel.
I love how this wreath looks on the mirror over my mantle. The combination of peonies, cherry blossoms, and eucalyptus screams spring to me.
You are also getting a sneak peek of my spring mantel. I’ll share more of it very soon.
How to make a Spring Embroidery Hoop Wreath
I’m calling my wreath an embroidery hoop wreath but technically it is a quilting hoop wreath. A quilting hoop is thicker and a bit more sturdy than an embroidery hoop.
Supplies
This post may contain affiliate links. For full disclosure go here.
- Embroidery Hoop or Quilting Hoop – I used a 10″ quilting hoop. A 16″ hoop would be a good size for a door.
- Florals – I used one eucalyptus stem, three peony stems, and one plum blossom stem from Michael’s.
- Glue Gun
- Wire Cutters – I like to use tin snips to cut thick faux floral wire stems.
- Fishing Line or Wire for Hanging the Wreath
- Gold Spray Paint
(The picture shows two eucalyptus and two plum stems but I only used one of each.)
Procedure
Step One – Paint the embroidery hoop
An embroidery hoop’s natural wood color makes a pretty base for a wreath. I chose to paint my embroidery hoop gold using spray paint that I had on-hand.
Step Two – Prepare the florals
Cut the eucalyptus and plum stems into small sections. Cut each peony stem close to the base of the flower.
(I did not end up using the wire for this project.)
Step Three – Glue the florals into place
Plan out your design and then glue each stem into place. I started with a layer of eucalyptus.
Then I added more eucalyptus.
Next I added the plum stems.
Then I glued the three peony blossoms into place.
After the peonies were in place, I added a few more sprigs of eucalyptus and plum.
Hang and Enjoy!
I was so excited when I finished this wreath that I snapped this picture of it and sent it to my friend. I like how it looks on a solid background and think that it would look great hanging on a door or wall.
I used a command hook and fishing line to hang this wreath on my mirror. It wouldn’t hang straight, so I used hot glue to secure it exactly where I wanted it.
Next week I’ll share more of my spring mantel!

What an adorable wreath Paula!! I love that you have it hanging on the mirror and the glue gun trick is so smart!! Happy Spring!
Thank you, Cindy! Glue guns are such a handy tool.
Paula
I like how you combined the ball jars and insulators on the mantle. It feels very light which works well with a light wreath rather than one heavy and full.
Thank you, Wendy! I love how it looks on the mirror.
Paula
This wreath is so pretty, Paula! it looks like it was made for that mirror. I love the gold tones with the pink. Peonies are one of my very favorites! I recently bought some peony tubers to plant, and they are just about the color of the ones in your wreath. Have you been enjoying the sunshine here in Virginia? I’m still waiting for slightly warmer temps.
Hi, Kim! I also love peonies!! There are a bunch here that the former owner planted years and years ago. They are one of my very favorite flowers. Our weather has been so nice and I’ve been enjoying it like crazy.
Paula
This is so pretty! I’ve always wanted to do an embroidery hoop project but have yet to try one. Thanks for sharing this craft with us at #omhgww!
Thanks, Alice! This is my first embroidery hoop project. I have a bag of hoops from the thrift store, so I’ll probably do more in the future.
Paula
Just lovely, Paula. You did such a pretty job! I tried pinning, but the only thing to pin are the instructions. 😉
