DIY Boho Fall Wreath
05 October
Wreaths are a decorating staple for almost any holiday, don't you agree?
They don't have to be the traditional round shape or evergreen or grapevine wreaths either.
Wreaths made with embroidery hoops are pretty popular right now. I love the simplicity of using the embroidery hoop and then embellishing it just a little bit... and I'm all about repurposing!
So, I decided to try making my own repurposed embroidery hoop wreath but with a boho spin.

Supplies Needed:
- Embroidery hoop
- Wooden beads
- Jute Twine (or cotton string or embroidery floss)
- Embellishments of your choice (I used faux pumpkins, fall leaves, and a turkey feather!)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Florist's wire (optional)
Step one - add jute and beads
The embroidery hoop I chose is 12" in diameter. You could use larger or smaller depending on where you want to put it.
Begin by tightening up the hoop so it won't come apart and then start tying lengths of the twine along the bottom of the hoop. Make these as long as you think you want your beads to hang down.
Then start adding the beads.
I put about 29 beads on the center lengths of twine and then I gradually made them shorter toward the outside by using one less bead on each of the outside lengths of twine.
29 on the center two
28 on the two on either side of those
27 on the next two, etc.

When you get ready to tie the ends, make sure you push the beads all the way up until they are touching the embroidery hoop so you aren't left with an uneven gap.
I used dabs of hot glue to keep the knots from coming undone on both the top and bottom knots.
TIP: push the knots toward the back of the hoop so they won't show later.
Step two - embellish
I also added a turkey feather and a leftover bead to cover the gap between the pumpkins.

Imagine the hoop painted red or green with a Christmas floral spray 😍
