Simple Gold Hoop And Sunflower Wreath

As my usual tradition of making a new Fall wreath each year, I am again sharing a Fall-themed wreath for inspiration.  But this one is a bit different for me.  This is the first time I have made a wreath with a simple gold hoop and sunflowers.

I love making wreaths, and fall-themed wreaths are one of my favorites, along with Christmas, of course. In fact, there isn’t really a season that I don’t enjoy the challenge of coming up with a new wreath idea.

A friend asked me what I do with the old wreaths each year since I make a new one, and that is a simple answer.  I usually donate the wreath to a charity rummage sale at our church.

If I like it, I will keep it and use it in my house somewhere next season. If not, I will make some changes to it and reuse it again.

But if it is just one I made for fun and don’t plan to use again the next time that season rolls around, I usually donate them to our church’s rummage sale or to a local thrift store that supports homeless veterans.

I figured someone else might enjoy using the wreath as much as I did the first time.

I am not sure yet if this one is one I will keep or donate, but for now, I am enjoying the simplicity of the gold hoop and sunflower wreath.

The supplies for this simple gold hoop wreath with sunflowers were purchased at Michaels a couple of weeks ago; however, similar items can be found online and in other craft supply stores.

Sunflowers have always been a favorite of mine, so they were, of course, my first choice for a Fall wreath. In the past, I have created fall-themed wreaths with pumpkins, owls, and sunflowers. But this is my first attempt at using a gold hoop as the base for a wreath.

Making a gold hoop wreath was surprisingly simple. It took about ten minutes to put together and requires fewer items to look elegant and charming for any decor.

I will make another hoop wreath in the future.

I purchased a 14″ gold hoop at Michael’s for this wreath and several seasonal stems of sunflowers and yellow berries. I also included one stem of seeded eucalyptus, which I already had on hand from floral stems purchased for my daughter’s wedding.

To start the wreath, I wrapped several sections of eucalyptus stems around the gold hoop using floral wire.  These provided the base for the floral design.

Next, I wired the yellow berries around the eucalyptus stems.

The final step is to glue on the sunflowers.

Cut only the sunflower head off the floral stems near the base of the flower. Then, use hot glue to attach the flower heads along the ring of the gold hoop. The wire-wrapped stems from the other floral pieces will give the flowers something to stick to.

And there you have it—a simple hoop wreath that took just a few minutes to put together.

This wreath can be hung with the flowers design at the bottom, to the side, or even towards the top.  It looks beautiful either way.

Fall weather will be here soon, and even though I haven’t pulled out all of my Fall decor items yet, I have been slowly working on some new items to add this year, including this simple gold hoop sunflower wreath.

Hugs,

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” Ephesians 4:2
