If you want to add a little flair to your autumn decor, this embroidery hoop pumpkin fall banner is a must! It’s simple to make and gives any room a great pop of color!
One of my favorite things about fall is the colors! Vibrant golds, deep oranges, ripe reds, and pretty purples surround us and make us feel alive as we enjoy the cooler days and chilly evenings. I love bringing those colors indoors and decorating the entire house in fall splendor.
And every year I make at least one fall decor item to add to the bunch. This year I decided to make a cute fall banner that I could hang from my mantle.
I absolutely love decorating my mantel for fall. It is my favorite area to fill with colors! I just couldn’t resist adding some fall touches to it this year. The bunting just needed a little something special, and that’s when I came up with this adorable fall banner idea.
You’re gonna love this cute three-dimensional fall banner for your fall home decor. It’s unique and perfect for the season! Read on to learn how to make this pumpkin hoop fall banner in just minutes.

FAQs
If you have questions, check below to see if I’ve already answered them. If I haven’t, please leave your question in the comments so that I can!
Can I use super glue instead of hot glue?
Yes! Either type of glue will work with this project. I find hot glue to be easier to work with for very simple projects like this fall banner. But if you don’t have hot glue or a hot glue gun, super glue will work too!
What could I use instead of embroidery hoops?
If you don’t have embroidery hoops or simply prefer a different style, you could replace them in this fall banner project with anything stiff. Something such as balsa wood cut into circles would give you the same general look without the embroidery hoops.
If you use choose to go this route, wrap your felt around the circle and glue it in place on the backside. Then make sure you cut a hole in the wood for your jute twine.

Angie, you’ve done it again, love your hoop garland. Think if I can find those little pumpkins will be making this and substitute it for one have hanging on my shutter shelf (a.k.a. our mantel). Think will figure out something else for little pumpkins if can’t find them. Thought was done but here I am still creating. This is just so durned cute, never seen this idea before.
Have great Fall week

I love all the fall colors in your garland. So festive. And I”m LOVING the reclaimed wood “fireplace” frame you built around the heater. Way.too.cute!
I love that basket frame in the background – did you repurpose that from something else? Mantel looks great and very autumny with the fall colors of orange, yellow, and red.
That is a vintage tobacco basket. You can often find them at antique shows.
Love this idea!
I had to stop over after seeing this on Pinterest – it is so pretty and cute!
I love this project. Beautiful fall decor
