Do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough Christmas Ornaments, Sweet Friends? Am I just obsessed with creating?
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
My tree was full and I really didn’t need to add any more ornaments to it, but….well…..sometimes I just can’t get enough crafting and diy-ing.
Is your tree looking a little sparse? Or are you just a little obsessed with crafting….like me?
Are you looking for a fast, fun and friendly Christmas Ornament DIY?
Oh good, I was too.
The Yarn Garland was all over the tree.
The bulbs and icicles were on the tree.
There were stars on the tree and it looked oh so pretty, but then……
But then I was on Pinterest, just for the heck of it….
And of course Embroidery Hoop Ornaments started to show up all over Pinterest. Well, you know me…..when I see something that looks fun and easy I can’t help myself but to try it out.
Even though my tree was finished and full of beautiful warm and neutral ornaments, I still wanted to create more. So that’s just what I decided to do.
I love faux fur ribbon, and the faux fur ribbon is really fun to decorate with. The Faux Fur Ribbon was used on my Front Door Wreath. Remember last week when I showed you the “Front Door Holiday Decor and Five Things Needed to Decorate the Front Door.”
Well, since I had some extra Faux Fur Ribbon, I came up with a plan to create Faux Fur Ribbon Embroidery Hoop Ornaments! I’ve included the DIY tutorial below, just in case I’ve inspired you to create your own.
Materials for Embroidery Hoop Christmas Ornament:
- 3 inch Embroidery Hoops
- 4 inch Faux Fur Ribbon
- Paint – I used DIY Paint in Dark and Decrepit and then DIY Paint Tarnished Pearl. You can purchase it here.
- Top Coat – I used Rustoleum Clear Coat
- Black String
- Greenery and Berries
- Scissors
Instructions for Embroidery Hoop Christmas Ornament:
Step one: Take the Embroidery Hoop apart (it’s two pieces) and paint and or stain the Embroidery Hoops. I wanted my hoops to look old and distressed. I stained the hoops a dark color first and then painted with a light color on top. I distressed the hoops to then show the contrasting colors. My final step was to seal the paint on the hoop.
Step two: Cut the Faux Fur Ribbon to fit the hoop. You can measure the size of the hoop and then cut a square with the measurement or just guesstimate.
Note aside: I’m kind of a guesstimate crafter, what are you?
Step three: Place Faux Fur Ribbon inside the hoop.
Step four: Trim the excess Faux Fur Ribbon off the back.
Step five: Prepare greenery and/or berries to be placed on hoop. I had extra greenery on hand and just cut it up to create something that worked.
Step six: Use a thin ribbon to tie the greenery and berries onto the hoop.
Step seven: Create a loop with your ribbon to hang your ornament on the tree.
Step eight: Hang your ornaments on the tree and enjoy!
Have fun and be creative with this project. I also used a black and white ribbon and a gold jingle bell to create a whole new ornament look. Crafting doesn’t have to be expensive. I have included links so you can create the exact project, but you can also be creative and do something “one of a kind”, with what you already have.
For every year the Christmas tree, Brings to us all both joy and glee.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
Now go out there and create something and have yourself a Very Merry Christmas!
