embroidery hoop christmas wreath.


I love crafting. Sometimes ideas spill out, one over another. Other times I'm a little short on inspiration. December happens to be a time when I'm making lots of crafts (which explains the two tutorials in two weeks, view my last craft here). So, how about a Christmas wreath?


What you'll need: an embroidery hoop, yarn, fabric, cord, scissors, hot glue gun. (My fabric, cord, and hoop is thrifted.)


// step one // Make sure you're embroidery hoop is nice and tightened up. Place a dab of hot glue on your hoop, attach yarn.

// half-done //

// step two // Loop yarn around embroidery hoop and pull tight. When done, secure the end of the yarn with hot glue.


// step three // After the hoop is completely covered, cut a length of fabric, wrap it around a small section, and secure with hot glue.


// step four //  Again, using your hot glue, wrap the cord around the fabric.


// step five // Hang your wreath and enjoy!


Do you have a favorite Christmas craft? Do tell. Happy Friday!
