How To Make A Wreath for Fall

— A Double Hoop Wreath!

Sharing a modern Fall hoop wreath diy — using washed linen a few dramatic flowers and two embroidery hoops. Stunning! (And so very easy)

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] I am quite smitten with minimalist hoop wreaths. You too? If not, no worries. I’ve got you covered there too — and with so much fabulous Fall inspiration. At the bottom of this post, check out the additional 11 Fun Fall Ideas from bunches of my blogger friends. As much as I love minimalist hoop wreaths, somehow they intimidated me. They don’t look very forgiving to make. At least to me. Let me tell you, friend, I was soooo wrong! This was the most fun wreath I have ever made!!!! Particularly easy since I used two hoops. This created a space to tuck all the bits and pieces of stem ends, etc. And I think it turned out to be hugely successful. So what got me started was an extra-large embroidery hoop I found at the thrift store for $5! AND I and five other bloggers challenged each other to see how we would each use the same skinny washed linen table runners that I used to make and sell. (Sorry, they are sold out and I cannot get more of that wonderful fabric). Being a textile nerd, I never make a wreath without including some kind of textile element. With my hoop being extra-large, my ribbon or textile accent needs to be extra large. I knew my washed linen skinny table runner would be perfect. But let’s back up and start with the hoops. I wanted two.

Then I purchased the inner hoop at JoAnns for $4.19 (after my coupon of course!). [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] The new hoop is slightly thinner and lighter in color — no worn patina. The size is no problem, as it’s going to nestle inside the larger one anyway. And I took care of the patina with some swipes of several different leftover stains.  [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://southhousedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/thriller.jpeg” title_text=”thriller” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://southhousedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Filler.jpeg” title_text=”Filler” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://southhousedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trailer.jpeg” title_text=”Trailer” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] I took the larger hoop and the runner to Hobby Lobby and tried out many combinations of florals, and finally landed on these. For my wreath, I applied the same “Thriller-filler-and-spiller” principle that is commonly applied to windowboxes and planters. So after exploring a lot of options, I settled on this one large “Thriller”, a number of “Fillers” and then two “Trailers” instead of “Spillers”. I wanted them to not spill down but rather be malleable and leggy to trail along the shape of the hoop, one up and one sideways. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://southhousedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/WireHoopsTogether.jpeg” title_text=”WireHoopsTogether” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] I started by wiring the outer hoop of the largest set with the inner hoop of the smaller set. BONUS: you have another outer and inner left. Enough structure for another wreath. Hellp Spring, or Christmas, or winter . . . . Oh, the possibilities! [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”4_4,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://southhousedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ClipFlorals.jpeg” alt=”Floral stems cut shorter and flowers separated.” title_text=”ClipFlorals” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Then, I used wire cutters and shorten your stems and cut apart the bunches. For my “trailers”, there were enough stems in the bunch that I only needed one bunch. I carefully separated that bunch into one main group that will go up the left side and two smaller bunches that will go to the right side. I tried not cut the “Fillers” and “Trailers” into a whole bunch of separate stems as that just means more wiring.

I started with the linen runner by tying a loose slip knot in one end. Then I laid the runner out so I could determine where I wanted it to lie around my hoop. I wanted the lower left side of the hoop to be my arrangement. I threaded a length of wire through the folds of the knot and wired around the hoops. I positioned it just to the right of the hoop expander piece (what are they really called?) Then I scrunched up the other end. Wrapped it tightly with a piece of wire and tied it off to the outer hoop up high. Notice it is not taut as I want to be able to add a third wire and twist and puff out the linen between the florals. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.9″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.9″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.9″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://southhousedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/StartWiring.jpeg” title_text=”StartWiring” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Now, it’s time to add the florals. I started with my “Thriller”. Wired her in tight where I wanted her and I added a bit of filler at the same time. I worked my way out in both directions. This is when I wired in the “Trailers”, pulling and puffing the linen as I went. You might wire the linen in another spot with you “Fillers” also. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://southhousedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/WireBackside.jpeg” alt=”backside of hoops with stems wired around and between the wooden hoops” title_text=”WireBackside” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Here’s the backside of the wreath, you can see how the space between the two hoops also serves as a great reservoir to hide the stems and wires. These hoop wreaths have a clean, modern aesthetic that doesn’t require a lot! So you can go minimalistic or you can go all out.
