This Christmas Ornament idea has been in my mind for the past few months. For me, ideas for projects come to me in many different forms, during the wrong seasons and in round about ways. When I made my free fall printable, I loved the simplicity of the wreath I put on there.
Then, when I was searching for wreaths and finally came up with the DIY wreaths for the chairs we hung in our entry, an idea for a Christmas ornament came to mind.
Seasonal projects always come early in Blog Land and I knew I was part of the 31 Handmade Christmas Ornaments again this year so I had “ornaments” in the back of my mind.
With all the fall projects I did, this Christmas ornament came about pretty easily this year.

Supplies Used To Make An Embroidery Hoop Christmas Ornament:
4″ Embroidery Hoops
Dark Walnut Stain
Hot Glue
Winter Greenery (I cut up a garland that I wasn’t going to use anymore)
Small Pine Cones
Small Wood Beads
Grain Stripe Fabric (or any fabric you want to use)
Scissors
Pen
Jute Twine or Baker’s Twine (or any ribbon that you have on hand)
This Christmas ornament was so easy to make.
I started off by staining all of the embroidery hoops in Dark Walnut stain.
Once they were dry, I traced the hoops onto pieces of fabric from a Christmas garland I was not going to use anymore. (You could use any fabric or paper you had for this. I cut up a plaid scarf for the extra hoops I had and loved them just as much!)
I cut out the circles that I traced and hot glued them to the back of the hoops.
Then, I hot glued a piece of garland to the inside “ledge” of the embroidery hoop.
Next, I hot glued a tiny pine cone and some wood beads onto the garland.
Then, I tied some just twine into a bow and hot glued it to the top of the embroidery hoop.
Last, I tied jute twine or baker’s twine around the top of the Christmas ornament to make the “hanger” for the tree.
That’s it!
These ornaments are so cute! I need to make more and hang them on garland and wreaths we have around the house during the holidays.

Hi Lindsay,
These are so fun and I have to tell you that I made embroidered ornaments using the hoops like this recently. I even thought of using them for this hop. Of course they are different than yours, but it’s funny how creative people think alike. Mine won’t be published until mid-Nov. So fun seeing everyone’s great creations!
Thank you!
Lindsay, you outdid yourself with your handmade Christmas ornaments. From the fabric to the tiny pine cones, they are perfect. Your Christmas tree looks ready for the Christmas season. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
These are so adorable! PS -and I love the truck under your tree too! 🙂 Pinned and sharing on FB!
Thank you so much!
CUTE!!! Love that striped fabric.
Thank you!
Lindsay this is such a sweet and creative ornament. I love the fabric you chose and how you stained your hoops too. It’s the little things you do that make your ornaments extraordinary.
I’m so glad you joined up with us this year.
Thank you!
So good, I love the texture mixing!
Thank you!
This is the cutest ornament! The dark stain and striped fabric give it a cozy look that I love. I also love the vignette you created under the tree with the crate, truck, and thermos.
Thank you!
I love this idea! I am currently crushing on the embroidery hoop trend, so charming.
Thank you!
How adorable! And I love these little guys on that amazing tree. The space is totally decked out for Christmas. Great job! Susie from The Chelsea Project
Thank you!
Such a sweet idea! I love the fabric you chose too!
Thank you!
So cute! They look like little wreaths on your tree. I would have never thought of using embroidery hoops this way: it’s brilliant! Thank you for sharing your idea.
Thank you!
Oh my goodness, this is absolutely beautiful! Love the fabric against the hoop, so pretty!
Thank you!
I get inspired when I see items being repurposed for decorative reasons. Using the embroidery hoop as the base for an ornament is so clever and makes one beautiful tree ornament.
Thank you!
These are so sweet! I would love to know where you got your little tree?
Thank you! I found it at Goodwill.
This is perfect in every way, Lindsay! I would love to have a tree filled with these.
Thank you!
Love these adorable, easy, cute, affordable ornaments, they look great on tree shown. Been trolling for ideas and think have enuf to keep me busy making little keepsake gifts for loved ones and friends..
This year we get paid our SS 2 days after Christmas which is 5 weeks after we get paid in Nov. BIG OUCH.
Your ornament will be making a few people happy so am very glad you shared it. Happy daze
