Spring Hoop Wreath

Embrace the change to warmer temperatures with a playful new and easy to make Spring hoop wreath. Faux eucalyptus sprigs and other craft materials create a beautiful piece of DIY door decor.

A Playful and Pretty Spring Hoop Wreath

Inspired by the leftover faux florals and eucalyptus sprigs from the XO valentine door decor, we created this simple DIY project for a new and fresh Spring wreath.  The act of displaying a new wreath is one clear sign that the seasons are changing and we welcome that change: out with the old and in with the new. 

When you can’t find the perfect ribbon for your project, consider making your own. Using a piece of plain canvas trim with frayed edges allows you to customize the ribbon to match your style and mood.  I particularly love this polka-dot stencil pattern because it’s playful and fun and evokes a sense of newness and youth fullness.  How great would this idea also look on simple canvas placemats or a table runner?  With so many different options to choose from, there’s always a pattern to meet your project needs.

Materials Needed to Make A Spring Hoop Wreath:

• Gold Metal Ring, 14” diameter
• 4” wide canvas ribbon with frayed edges, 35” long and 5” long
• Americana Decor Stencil Polka-Dot Pop, 12”x12”
• Decoart Americana Acrylics in Zinc
• Americana Decor Stencil brush, large size 12
• Ashland faux Spring bush in pink
• Ashland faux eucalyptus sprigs
• Floral wire
• Floral tape
• Wire Cutter (not shown)
• Needle and matching thread color
• Scissors (not shown)

Instructions for Making a Spring Hoop Wreath:

Stenciling the ribbon:

Place the long piece of cut ribbon on a protected flat surface and position the polka-dot stencil over top of the ribbon. Dip the stencil brush in the paint and blot off the excess paint. Holding the stencil in place, begin to dab the paint onto the ribbon until your happy with the coverage.

Peel away the stencil and reposition it along another section of the ribbon. Continue until the entire ribbon length is stenciled. Leave the ribbon to dry fully before using.

Preparing the ribbon:

To form the center loop of the ribbon, fold in the sides of the smaller cut ribbon widthwise reducing the total width to 1 ¼” wide. Next fold the ribbon lengthwise in half tucking in the cut edges approximately ½” on either end. Using a sewing needle and thread, begin to sew the loop closed to form the center loop. Put aside.

Next, take the long stencilled ribbon and fold in half lengthwise to mark the center point. Lay the ribbon on a flat surface, stenciled side facing down. Fold the ends inward at the midway point criss crossing them at the center.

Precut a piece of floral wire approximately 5” long. Pinch the center of the bow with your fingers and wrap a cut piece of floral wire around the center to hold the bow in place.

To finish the bow, thread the one side of the bow through the prepared ribbon loop positioning the stitched side of the loop towards the back of the bow. Pull one end of the wire through the loop as well. This wire will be used to attach the bow to the wreath.

Assembling the Wreath:

Place the eucalyptus sprig facing downward over top of the metal ring (in other words, with the eucaplytus stem upwards). Pre-cut a piece of floral wire. 

Fold the wired stem of the foliage in half looping it over the gold ring and tie a piece of floral wire around the folded stem to hold it in place. Add more floral wire if needed to secure the eucalyptus sprig in place. To protect your fingers from the cut wire, you can wear a pair of gardening gloves.

Add some additional faux floral bunches on top and secure them in place with more floral wire.

Rip off a piece of floral tape and wrap it around the stem of the eucalyptus until it looks tidy and neat and all the exposed wire is concealed.

Place the prepared ribbon at the top of the gold ring and attach it to the hanging eucalyptus at the point of the folded stem.

Create another small loop with the ends of the floral wire to use for hanging the wreath. By using this loop for hanging, it will also force the faux florals and bow to remain in place at the top of the wreath.

Hang your new simple Spring hoop wreath and enjoy! And after Spring has passed, you could easily disassemble the wreath and create a new felt succulent wreath using the same gold metal ring. 

Spring is in the air, that means all things herb garden, bird feeders, and garden decor, happy crafting!
