I absolutely love Spring, it’s my favorite season. As a quintessential June baby, any type of brisk or cold weather just isn’t for me. So naturally I dream about this time of year all winter long, and all the the things I can finally do outdoors, including all the floral Spring crafts I can get my hands on! And today I’m sharing a very simple embroidery hoop floral wreath DIY, that is lovely enough to grace your front door all through summer….
You’ll Need
- 1 Embroidery Hoop, in the size of your choice {I used a 14″ bought here}
- Faux Peonies & White Filler Flowers, including their leaves {of course use whatever flowers & greens you like}
- Hot Glue Gun
- Wire Cutters
Begin by cutting all of the flowers and greenery you plan on using, and set aside in groups. First, arrange and lay out the florals onto the hoop how you’d like it to look once glued. Take a picture, so you have something to reference once you begin gluing. I choose to hide the embroidery hoop tightener, but go ahead and let it show for a fun touch.
Using your hot glue gun, glue on the first layer of greens or foliage. I started with the bulkier white flower filler, then added different types of flat leaves. Use different greens to create texture.
Since my focal point was going to be these two lovely peonies, every time I glued on a green I placed them atop as a point of reference. I wanted to keep my wreath minimally lush, but go ahead and add more foliage if you prefer.
Once you’re satisfied with greenery, start gluing on the peonies. And that’s it!
In a matter of minutes, with a few simple steps you have yourself a beautiful Spring wreath! If I wasn’t taking photos I would’ve put this together in less than 10 minutes. And you of course can certainly add a lot more florals to your wreath, just don’t cover the hoop completely, it’s the unique part that sets this wreath apart from traditional ones.
I only made one wreath but I can’t get the image of a wedding installation or backdrop made from an array of these floral hoops in different sizes. Have you seen this trend? It’s just so pretty and cool, I can’t get enough of it right now. It’s boho, minimal, whimsical and fun! Now that I think of it, wouldn’t it look absolutely pretty grouped together on a little girl’s room wall or an office.
I honestly love this DIY so much, it’s definitely the peonies, aren’t they just gorgeous!
It’s a beautiful Spring welcoming to any home.
Hi! How did you end up hanging this?

Hi Jen! I’ve used Command Strips to hang onto a wall or a string to hang over the front door, which I have a tiny screw placed on the inside of the door to attach. Hope that helps!

Hi Diana!
Do you remember where you got your peonies from? This is absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you!

Hi Hannah! I got them at Michael’s 🙂

Hi I am going to start making this wreath for my girlfriend’s birthday. Since the look is to have the flowers on the side how does the wreath not slide to the bottom opposite the hook? Should I incorporate a ribbon in between the hoops before I start glueing to hang the wreath from?
That’s awesome! Good question, it really should slide to one side since they are faux flowers and don’t weigh much. But I think adding a ribbon might work, I actually use the removable command strips to secure the wreath onto the door exactly in the position I want, and it doesn’t fall, plus when you want to change the wreath they simply come off. But not sure how her door is shaped, so the ribbon might be your best option. Good luck! Would love to see your final wreath 🙂
