Looking for a cute and creative way to bring handmade charm to your home decor? This embroidery hoop wreath featuring adorable yoyo flowers and cozy yarn is the perfect DIY craft project. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a total beginner, this easy tutorial will walk you through creating a beautiful wreath that’s perfect for any season.

Why Make an Embroidery Hoop Wreath?

An embroidery hoop wreath is a modern twist on traditional wreaths. It’s minimalist, lightweight, and incredibly versatile. You can hang it on your front door, above your mantel, or even use it as a centerpiece for weddings or baby showers. You can customize it endlessly with different fabrics, textures, and embellishments like yoyo flowers and yarn.

What Are YoYo Flowers?

YoYo flowers are small, gathered fabric circles that look like whimsical little blooms. They’re made from scraps of fabric and are a great way to reuse leftover materials from other sewing or embroidery projects. These handmade flowers add a vintage, textured touch to any craft, especially when combined with the sleek frame of an embroidery hoop.

DIY Yoyo Flowers Wreath

Materials and Supplies:

• 2 Wooden embroidery hoops (a big 10″ and a small 3.5″)
• Assorted cotton fabric scraps for yoyo flowers
• Yarn in your favorite colors (neutral or seasonal tones)
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Scissors and needle/thread
• Twill to decorate the small hoop
• Jute twine
• Covered Buttons kit
• Circle templates of different sizes (to cut fabric)
• Optional: greenery, felt leaves, ribbon

Instructions:

1. Creating the Yarn Base

Wrap yarn around one side of the embroidery hoop for a cozy, textured backdrop. You can:

• Wrap half or one-third of the hoop for an asymmetrical look
• Use multiple yarn colors for a color-blocked effect
• Criss-cross the yarn for a web-like background
• Optional: Secure the yarn ends at the back with hot glue.

Wrap the blue yarn around the big hoop, start by pinching the yarn between the two hoops and covered both the hoops with yarn. Knot the two ends when all entire hoop is covered.

Wrap the jute twine around the big hoop, starting at the top and knot when you reach the end. Leave some length at the start and the end. This length will be used to hang the hoop.

2. How to Make YoYo Flowers?

Cut fabric circles: Use a template (about twice the size of your desired finished flower). For a 2-inch flower, cut a 4-inch circle. I used vase and a bowl as my circle templates.

Gather and Stitch: Sew a loose running stitch around the edge.

Pull the thread: Gather the fabric tightly and secure with a knot. Flatten the flower to create the signature yoyo look.

Add embellishments: Use the covered button kit to make fabric covered buttons. Sew a button or felt circle in the center for added flair.

Yoyo Flowers Material

Make about 6–12 yo-yo flowers, depending on the size of your hoop.

3. Assemble Your Embroidery Hoop Wreath

Arrange your yoyo flowers on the bottom or side of the hoop. Play with layout before gluing.

Use a hot glue gun or thread to attach flowers to the hoop or yarn.

Just to add a little more interest, I added jute twine as bows under the yo-yo flowers.

Attach Yoyo Flowers to Wreath

Wrap only the outer ring of the small hoop, as we will be inserting fabric on the inside ring. Write the word “Spring” or whatever you want on the hoop and embroider it.

Add Craft Details to Wreath

Fill in empty spaces with felt leaves, faux greenery, or a seasonal ribbon.

Tie a loop of twine or ribbon at the top for easy hanging.

4. Tips for a High-End Look

• Stick to a color palette: neutrals with one pop color look modern and fresh.
• Use textured yarn like boucle or chenille for added interest.
• Layer different-sized yoyo flowers for depth and dimension.

This embroidery hoop wreath with yoyo flowers and yarn is more than just a craft—it’s a cozy statement piece made from your own hands. Whether you’re decorating for spring, summer, or fall, this project is easy to adapt to the season and your personal style.
