Love the look of woodsy holiday decorations? Try my Frosted Winter Holiday Woodland Wreath. It is made from two large embroidery hoops and is covered in sparkling snow! For more winter project ideas see my Christmas page.
I love all the rustic holiday home decor trending this year, how about you? I found some great sparkly foliage this week at Michaels and I wanted to make a woodland scene wreath for my holiday decor.
I love embroidery hoop wreaths and I knew I could incorporate the wood for an added rustic look. I found this huge quilting embroidery hoop, and it did the trick to make this wreath special. Here’s how to do it!
Winter Holiday Woodland Wreath
Supplies:
- Wood Quilt Hoop 18 Inch -3/4 Inch Depth
- Darice Quilting Hoops, 14-Inch
- Bushy Foliage and a few sparkly foliage picks
- Faux Woodland House (Michaels)
- Burlap Ribbon
- Pliers
- Hot Glue and Gun
Instructions:
One of the first things you do when you buy silk foliage or picks is to take them apart with pliers, this way you can work with each stem separately.
I cut my large foliage bush into three sections. Next layout how you are going to arrange the arrangement. Play around with different scenarios. Then go back and attach the picks and foliage.
Hot glue the two hoops together. I glued the smaller hoop slightly to the left inside the larger hoop. This will help stabilize the house and embellishments.
Glue and layer the three bushes spread out across the left side and bottom of the hoops.
To make the house sturdy on the arrangement, pull the bottom base off of the house. Cut a small section out of the left side, insert it over the inner hoop. Hot glue the house to the inner hoop.
Add the small picks to the wreath. To make the stems sturdy add hot glue to the stems as you arrange. Make sure they are where you want them, they do not come off easily once they have been glued. You can use plant wire to tie down the picks and foliage if you wish. In my opinion hot glue on the hoops seemed much easier for this project.
Loop burlap ribbon over the top and hang! It looks really interesting without the ribbon as well.
I love this Winter Holiday Woodland Wreath and it looks so pretty in my dining room for the holidays. I hope you like it! Happy Holidays!

Hi Kim! Could you tell me which method you use to finish the back of hoop projects?
I did not cover the back of the wreath with anything. You could cover glue or imperfections with felt if needed.

Loved this; am always looking for ways to make wreathes out of something that’s not straw or greenery. Add wooden emb. hoops to my-look-for-at-yard-sales list!
Thank you Kathy, I do the same thing! I love using unconventional things for wreaths.
Kim
Loved… Loved.. Hugs
Thanks for sharing your winter holiday wreath at The Pin Junkie! Just wanted to let you know that it was featured at this week’s party! :)
Awesome wreath – love the simplicity and the fact that any skill level crafter could make this! Easy to personalize too for your tastes, decor or holiday! I can see this with a bat or two and a haunted house for Halloween! Maybe a little Love Shack? Thanks for sharing the inspiration!
Really love this wreath! Unique and professional looking. Hopping over from Creative Monday. ~Cynthia

I love this, so cute! I think I might try something similar with some little vintage Putz houses I have! Thanks for the awesome inspiration!

This is gorgeous, Kim! So simple and elegant.
Love this!! I’ll have to follow you on Pinterest. I have so much DIY going on right now for the upcoming holidays, but this is definitely going on my list!!
This is such a sweet idea. You rocked this! Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop. watch for your feature on Monday ♥
I really love this idea, so pretty and appropriate for the season and so simple, not overdone. I’ve gotten so I love to see the really fluffy full wreaths but can’t handle them in my own house or on door. Just one of those things about old age, quirks? We have a small house and too much is too much in it especially when doors/windows/shades closed up at night. Maybe I have bit of claustrophobia? This is such a cute idea, easy to accomplish and not expensive for too many supplies. So glad you shared this with us.
I have several different sized hoops so that’s already there, will find some sparkly picks when holiday decorations come out, just need the little house. Where did you find your little woodland house? love it and how it’s styled.
Happy weekend and holidays.
