Large Metal Hoop Christmas Ornaments

Make these chic oversized Christmas ornaments out of metal hoops and cozy yarn.

Today I am sharing a really pretty DIY Christmas decoration tutorial. Let’s make oversized ornaments out of large metal hoops! These turn out so cool and look like something you’d buy at a high-end Christmas boutique. And because we are making them ourselves, we can make them in whatever color and style matches our Christmas decor. Let’s go!

To make your own oversized DIY Christmas ornaments, you will need the following materials. I bought everything at Hobby Lobby.

Instructions

Step 1: Place three metal hoops together so that they form a sphere shape. Use zip ties to secure them together at the two ends where the hoops overlap. I used three zip ties on each end, so that when I was finished, each of the six spokes coming from the convergence point had a zip tie between them.

Make sure to adjust each hoop so that they are all centered and make a perfect sphere. I pulled my zip ties 90% of the way, then did minor final adjustments, then once I had the hoops just right, pulled them all the way tight. Cut off the excess zip tie tails.

Step 2: Wrap all parts of the hoop sphere with the fuzzy yarn. It works better to cut pieces approximately 3 feet long, then secure the beginning and end to the hoop with hot glue. Start the next piece where you left off and you won’t even be able to see that it’s a different piece of yarn. And trust me, it is MUCH easier to use smaller pieces of yarn rather than trying to keep the whole skein together and tangle free.

Step 3: When all of the metal is covered with yarn, add decorative sprigs of greenery and floral picks to the top of the ornament. Remember, you can cut larger stems apart to fit your project.

Step 4: Add a hanging ornament from the center inside the hoops. Attach a ribbon loop and bow to the top for hanging.

And that’s it! Look how cute they are!

And here I am holding them to give you an idea of just how large they are. And I didn’t even use the largest available hoop, which is a whopping 20 inches. How cool!

I hung mine from the ceiling in a corner of the family room and they look amazing there. They’d be super cute hanging in a grouping on the porch. Or you could even use them on a Christmas tree.

I think these would be so gorgeous using silver tinsel and vintage colorful ornaments for that retro Christmas vibe. You could do a colorful gingerbread theme or go super modern or do classic red & green. And just think of all of the different ornaments you could hang from the center! I saw several Christmas bells that I almost used. Wouldn’t that be cute? I’m telling you, there are just so many ways you could take this idea and make it your own.
