Simple Hoop Wreath DIY

I’ve been seeing a lot of hoop wreaths using jute twine ‘webbing’ along the middle on Pinterest lately and just love them! I thought I’d share my own take on them here on the blog. This simple hoop wreath diy is easy to make and just perfect for those of us who love modern styles with a rustic vibe.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:  SIMPLE HOOP WREATH DIY

• Embroidery hoop or metal ring
• Jute twine
• Florals or greenery (or even dried grasses like pampas grass) – This is where you can really personalize things to fit your style and tastes.
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Wire clippers (for clipping stems)
• Not pictured: Black spray paint (or craft paint). Leaving the hoop unfinished is also a lovely choice.
• Not pictured: Ribbon (I used this one)

SIMPLE HOOP WREATH DIY

STEPS

Step 1 (Optional):  Paint Hoop

Separate the inner from the outer hoop by 1. loosening screw and 2. separating inner/outer hoops.

Spray paint each hoop in your colour of choice (mine is a matte black spray paint). Use two or three coats, making sure to dry between each application.

Once fully dry, reattach both hoops.

Step 2:  Attach Twine

Tie one end of your twine to the hoop.

Add a dab of hot glue along the outer edge where the jute and hoop connect.

Once glue dries (takes just a few seconds), tie a second knot to secure.

Step 3: Weave Twine Onto Hoop

Pull twine toward opposite side of hoop.

Next:

1. Add a dab of glue along the outer edge to secure the twine; hold until dry.
2. Wrap twine under hoop toward center.
3. Wrap twine back over hoop toward outer edge.
4. Wrap twin back under hoop toward center.

Pull twine back toward opposite end of hoop.

Then wrap around this end, as you did above, as follows:

1. Wrap twine under hoop and towards the center.
2. Wrap twine back over hoop towards outer edge.
3. Add dab of glue to secure twine to outer edge.
4. Wrap twine back under hoop towards the center.

 

 

Now, simply pull the twine towards the opposite end, and repeat the wrapping process, as above.

Go back and forth until you have enough twine coverage along the middle. Depending on the size of your hoop, you will want approximately 2-4 inches.

NOTE: I chose not to add glue to every wrapped portion as it added a bit of bulk along the outer edge. As long as you have some glue at the start and end of the wrapped portion, your piece should be secure. 

Snip off the twine, leaving a long tail.

Tie a knot to secure the tail end, as follows:

1. Feed tip between last and second last string.
2. Create loop.
3. Feed tip back under and through loop.
4. Pull string to shrink loop.
5. Continue pulling until…
6. You have a knot.

Snip off the loose tail and add a dab of hot glue to the knot to prevent it from untying.

Step 4: Add Greenery, Florals, or Dried Grasses

Clip off your florals, greenery or dried grasses – choose whatever gives you joy!

Feed one, two, three, or as many stems into the twine as you wish. While I used only 1 or 2 per wreath, you could create a mini bouquet and insert each stem for a completely different look. 

 

Snip off the stems as short as you wish and add a ribbon, if you’d like. I created two hoop wreaths, each a different size, to be displayed together.

Step 5: Hang & Enjoy!

Attach a twine hanger or simply hang on a hook. Display indoors or out.

This is a fun project anyone can do and requires very few materials to create. It’s a great way to make something simple and elegant that can be personalized to your tastes and style.

Happy crafting!
