Embroidery hoops aren’t just for knitting – there are so many other decorative options for them. In our daycare, we use them for learning, activities and classroom decor.
For this activity, you will need a large hoop and some ribbons. A charity shop/thrift store or any second-hand store is a great place to get your ribbons. We get our ribbons from Goodwill and Joann Fabrics (when they are on sale).
Make it:
Cut ribbons to length. Some can be shorter or longer to the look you want.
Staple ribbons around the hoop – use a small stapler, it gets in the groove better.
After all the ribbons are attached make a loop to hang the fixture. I made loops by attaching a ribbon at three corners, joining them together like a triangle, then knotting them.
Hang in your ceiling and that’s it. Easy peasy… 🙂
Here it hangs while another hoop project is showing on the wall.
My frugal shopping has shown me that these hoops are normally cheaper at a second-hand store than a retail store. Have fun making these beauties. If you operate a daycare as I do – stock up on these when you see them, they make beautiful crafts – Miss Sue.
