Embroidery Hoop Tinsel Wreath...

I've been busy decorating for Christmas, but wanted to share a very fast wreath project with you!!

I needed 2 small wreaths in the girls' bathroom. They are away at school until next week, so these wreaths are just up for a Christmas party I'm having tomorrow.

The project is so simple. It uses a package of tinsel garland and any hoop or wreath form.

I have lots of embroidery hoops that I'm not using any more for cross stitching and I always buy them in yard sales or thrift stores when I see them just for this reason...perfect shape.

Open the hoop a little and pinch the end of the garland to secure.

You can also open it up and use the 2 parts for 2 different wreaths!!

Then all you do is wrap the garland around the hoop.

This is a 10 inch hoop...

This package is 15 feet of garland. If your hoop or wreath form is small the garland will be thicker. If your hoop is larger, you might need 2 packages of garland.

Here is the wreath hanging in the girls' bathroom.

I hang little ornaments each year on their shower curtain.

This year I found these flat ornaments at Walmart.

The tinsel tree was an after Christmas sale a few years ago, but to make it a little more substantial I added a candle stick for the base.

Just an old candle stick that doesn't have a mate any more.

Try the wreath...it is so fast and easy.

Happy Decorating,
