Take the three hoops and nest them into each other to form a spherical shape. Think of it like a globe — three rings crossing at different angles.
To keep everything evenly spaced, add three zip ties at the top and three at the bottom, one between each pair of hoops. This keeps the structure stable and helps you avoid lopsided ornaments later.
Pull the zip ties tight. You can trim the ends later once the yarn covers everything.
Wrap the hoops with yarn
Tie your yarn onto one hoop and start wrapping. The key here is: slow and steady, and keep your wraps close together.
Chenille yarn hides everything beautifully, including those trimmed zip ties. When you reach one of the hoop intersections, wrap a few extra times around the joint to cover it completely.
One full hoop segment completely wrapped in yarn while the rest of the frame is still uncovered.
Keep going until all three hoops are fluffy, soft, and fully covered.

Add greenery
Choose your “front” side and gather your winter greens — pine, eucalyptus, berries, pinecones, whatever fits your holiday theme.
I added mine by tying the stems directly with the same chenille yarn, which blends so well that you don’t even see it. If you need extra hold, feel free to add a tiny dab of hot glue under the wraps.
Play around with the arrangement until you like how full it looks.
Add your bow
Make a pretty ribbon bow (or use a ready-made one).
Attach it right in the center of the greenery cluster. It instantly brings everything together and adds that soft holiday charm.
Hang the center ornament
Take your small ornament and tie it to the top inside of the hoop using the yarn.
Make sure it hangs right in the middle — this gives the whole ornament such a magical, floating look.
Add some Final touches
Straighten the hoops, lift little branches, tuck things where they look best, and fluff the yarn-wrapped structure.
Once it looks cute, you’re done!
Notes
The thicker the yarn, the faster the wrapping. If you can find 1 cm chenille yarn, it covers the hoops super quickly.
Metal hoops are sturdier, but plastic hoops are easier to bend if you need slight adjustments.
Try wrapping the hoops in two colors (white + light gray, blush + cream) for subtle texture.
If your greenery has thick stems, remove some of the wire or break it into smaller clusters, it layers much more neatly.
Don’t over-glue. Small, strategic dots are enough and stay invisible under the yarn.
Make a set of different sizes. A group of these looks adorable under the tree or along a fireplace.
