Metal and wooden hoops for decoration 

A metal or wooden hoop is a basic product, or perhaps even a foundation :-) It can be used for wreaths, macrame, dream catchers, mandalas, pendants made of string or crochet, as well as many other creative ideas.

Hoops for making your own dried flower wreaths

Ready-made wreaths made of dried plants can inspire you to make your own decorations. Those who enjoy working with dried plants and are passionate about handicrafts will certainly be able to handle such a task. In addition to floristic materials, it is worth ensuring that you have a suitable base for your decoration. Wreath hoops are ideal for this purpose. You can choose from hoops made of:

• Metal
• Wood
• Straw

Metal hoops - dried flower wreaths with a modern twist

The first type is the most popular among florists. These products are made in Poland from wire approximately 3 mm thick. They are powder coated in black or gold. This makes them resistant to damage and adverse external factors, including sunlight. They help to give the composition a modern look. Metal hoops are perfect for creating both full and semi-full wreaths, in which flowers are placed only on a specific section of the circle. All you need to attach dried plants is technical florist wire. It is worth noting that metal hoops are suitable not only for wreaths, but also for other forms of handicrafts. They can be used to create macramé, dream catchers and other interesting DIY projects. The most popular products have a diameter of 20, 25 and 30 cm. In addition to classic circles, hoops are available in various shapes, including hearts.

Wooden hoops for making wreaths and other handicrafts

Wooden products are an alternative to metal hoops. They are made of plywood approximately 4 mm thick and are approximately 10 mm wide. Wooden hoops are a great material for creating rustic wreaths. The appearance and texture of the wood have a significant impact on this, giving the decoration a warm character. Dried flowers can be attached to the base with florist wire or hot glue. Wooden hoops, like metal ones, are also suitable for macramé and other forms of handicrafts. There are variants with diameters of 16, 20 and 26 cm to choose from.

Straw bases for wreaths

Straw bases are also perfect for creating decorative wreaths. Their main advantage is their natural character. Thanks to this, they allow you to create not only beautiful but also eco-friendly decorations. They are biodegradable. Straw bases are soft, which makes working with them easy and enjoyable. Plants can be attached to the hoop with florist wire or hot glue. Dried grasses and grains, as well as dry and preserved flowers and leaves, are all suitable. A straw base is perfect as a base for wreaths hung on walls and doors. It is irreplaceable when creating Christmas and Easter decorations. It can be successfully decorated not only with dried flowers, but also with forest fruits – pine cones, chestnuts, acorns or rosehips. The most popular products are those with a diameter of 20 and 25 cm.

Metal and wooden wreath hoops

What should you use to make a flower wreath? There are several possibilities. You can start with straw bases, which are best suited for large Christmas wreaths. For wreaths made of fresh flowers, floral foam bases are most often used, which can be soaked in water to prolong the freshness of the flowers. Wreaths made of wicker or twigs are also worth considering. Head wreaths are best woven on a wire base, adjusted to the circumference of the head. However, one of the most popular solutions is metal or wooden hoops. Why? They are distinguished primarily by their minimalism. Decorated with flowers and ribbons, they look great on doors or walls. Metal is a very durable material, so the same hoop can be used repeatedly. Metal and wooden hoops for wreaths and decorations come in various diameters and colours. This gives them a wide range of applications and allows for a lot of creative experimentation. 

Hoops for macramé and dream catchers 

Metal hoops are perfect as a base for macramé and dream catchers. They are rigid and stable, which makes it easy to create your own decorations from string. Thanks to their minimalist appearance, the hoops do not distract from what is most important, namely the fancy macramé weave. In addition to woven decorations, metal hoops can also be used for crocheting, or more precisely, crochet work. They can be used to create detailed mandalas or window hangings. Wooden hoops, on the other hand, are best suited for macramé and crochet angels, families or other souvenirs.
