DIY Embroidery Hoop Fox Wreath For Your Front Door!

Last night, after tossing and turning for what seemed like forever, I dug out my notebook and started brainstorming new craft ideas for Glued To My Crafts. Nothing makes me feel better than just sketching some things out on paper.

Although I didn’t get much sleep last night, I was honestly counting down the hours till I could drop off lil man at school and grab a few more supplies to make today’s fox wreath tutorial happen. And since we needed groceries anyways, I ended up at my local Walmart store and surprisingly I found everything I needed there {this is a huge win considering our Walmart is not very big in the first place!}

One thing led to another and here we are again today 🙂 I can safely say I can sleep soundly tonight, knowing that my front door has my idea hanging from it now!

So how did I make it? With just an embroidery hoop, craft felt, yarn and flowers. Surprisingly – that’s it! The biggest wooden hoop I could find at Walmart was 10″ but I do believe you can find larger ones at Michaels. For me, the 10″ is actually perfect for our door but you may want to look around.

Anyways – below you will a quick tutorial on how I did it. Like always – you can change it up to fit your needs and current supplies. Maybe instead of yarn, you use twine or pretty ribbon. You can also use craft foam instead of felt like mine. It’s just matter of inspiring YOU to recreate your own wreath today!

Happy crafting, my friends! I really do hope you are inspired this super easy door wreath tutorial. If you do decide to give it a try today, please share a picture of it on our Facebook page. It would really make my day to hear from YOU! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

• Before you start, let’s get that glue gun hot and ready!
• Go ahead and cut several long strands of orange yarn for your wreath.
• Take one piece of yarn. Start on one section of the hoop {doesn’t matter where} and either hot glue or tie off your orange yarn. This will be your starting point.
• Now begin wrapping the orange yarn tightly, several times across, around and through the embroidery hoop, until it looks as “full” as you want it. Add more strands of yarn as you go {by tying/hot gluing them to the hoop} You will want to go diagonal and spread each “line” equally throughout the hoop. Some people might want it a little see-through while some might want to it really “orange” and full.
• When done, set the hoop aside.
• Now grab your craft felt pieces. Using our pictures as an examples, cut out triangles for the ears and center face of the fox. Go ahead and also cut out a small circle from the brown craft foam {or felt – I just happened to have foam on hand} If desired – cut out a tail from the remaining craft felt for the fox as well.
• When those are cut out, hot glue them to your yarn wrapped hoop in the designated spots.
• Now hot glue the decorative leaves and flowers to the hoop to give it that festive “autumn” look.
• Finish off the fox themed wreath by hot gluing the jumbo wiggle eyes in place, as well as gluing some ribbon to the back for easy hanging.
• Add other embellishments you see fit {like a pretty colored bow or some glitter} before you display it proudly for all to see!
