Embroidery Hoop Art

Another bit of art I wanted to tackle for Soprano's room was embroidery hoops with fabric. I found tons of super cute ideas on Pinterest.

I found a few hoops at a local craft re-uzit store and had one on-hand already. The two smaller ones were inexpensive purchases at JoAnn's. I painted them all with the yellow spray paint I used on the picture frames. I found all of the fabrics at JoAnn's too.

The larger two hoops only have fabric in them.

I used the flowers on the gray fabric to add buttons.

I made a little banner from bits of the other fabrics using the Stampin Up Pennant Punch as a template.

The last one was the most time intensive but is my favorite. I used the pattern of the fabric to add embroidery stitches as embellishment. I did have to Google how to make French Knots to refresh my memory but the rest was pretty easy.

Altogether, they hang on the wall adjacent to the picture gallery shelves.
