Hey you guys!! You probably already know about my "problem" by now but if not... Hi, I'm Sarah, and I'm addicted to stripes. I am also really into making wreaths lately... I've made two in the past week and I'm still basically exploding with wreath ideas.

Anyway -- today I'm sharing how to make this super easy modern wreath with succulents and embroidery hoops. Of course, it is striped because it has to match all my clothes and things in my house! Haha. I found these cute faux succulents in Michaels' floral market for just a few bucks each, and the idea for this was born.

How to Trim the Edges of the Embroidery Hoop Wreath

You will probably have to trim around the edges. I used a craft knife like this one, and fabric scissors to trim the sides. Easy DIY modern wreath with stripes and succulents

I really love the embroidery hoops as wreath edges, too. It gives this such a clean modern feel compared to using a normal wreath form, don't you think? Plus, it has the built-in hole at the top that perfectly fits with a push pin! (The more you know.)

  1. Super cute idea. Would be so simple to make holiday themed ones as well. And different sizes too.

  2. I missed the part where you tucked in the extra fabric? Or did you use an exacto knife to go around the circle to cut the extra off? We are going to try to do this for a craft day with a bunch of ladies.

    1. Thanks so much!
