Apply hot glue along the edge for the white oak leaf branches, curving them to follow the hoop. Secure firmly as your design base—hold until fully dry. Next, add lamb's ear with plenty of hot glue. Attach the berry pick, gluing individual berries for stability.

Generously hot glue the bottoms of pumpkins and pinecones to the hoop edge. Reinforce by gluing to leaves, lamb's ear, or other elements. Hold in place until the glue sets completely.

For wall hanging, position the nail slightly off-center to balance the asymmetrical design. On a door, use double-sided tape to fix the hoop to the bracket securely.
