This Old House magazine just featured a DIY project for using embroidery hoops and spools to create a room divider. This idea sprung forward many other uses you can do with embroidery hoops! Above are a couple of good ones for sure! I love the mobile! Here are simple step by step instructions to create a focal point in any space!
Start by purchasing what size embroidery hoop you like
Step 1-
Place the inner cirle your embroidery hoop on your fabric to determine the how much fabric to cut. I left at least 1" fabric outside the hoop. Cut your fabric (I just cut mine into a square).
Step 2-
Flip both the fabric and the hoop over so that the inner hoop is on the bottom and your fabric is right side up on top of the hoop. Now slide the outer hoop over your fabric.
Step 3-
Flip your stretched fabric over. It is now time to trim!
Have fun and creative! Find inexpensive fabric or go big since this project does not require much fabric to make your space beautiful!
