How to Finish an Embroidery Hoop with Bias Tape

How to Finish an Embroidery Hoop with Bias Tape

I'm really enjoying being able to sit and stitch again--now that all of my things are in one place, I can finally work on some of the projects that I've had on my idea list forever. I have always felt that the hoop in a project can help to really show off your work if you play it up a bit. This is how to finish and embroidery hoop with bias tape--it's super easy and you can make pretty hoops in batches so that there's always one ready for your next project. What you'll need: ...

City Fireworks Hoop Art

City Fireworks Hoop Art

I love (and greatly miss!) summer fireworks. There's something really special about getting together as a community or neighborhood and watching the explosions of colour in the sky. Some of my favourite fireworks memories are of watching the spectacular show Pittsburgh always put on in the middle of the city. They would be set off from a barge in the river and the combination of tall buildings, booming light, and oldies playing is something that has stuck with me. I made this fun City Fireworks ...

Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop

Merry & Bright Cross Stitch Hoop

I've been amassing a pile of felt and fabric scraps from various Christmas projects that needed to be used. Because my go-to craft supplies have become more precious since the move (harder and more expensive to come by), I've held onto every last bit for use in another project. I pulled some of my scraps together to make this festive little Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop and it has added yet another pop of homemade Christmas cheer to our family room. This post contains affiliate ... Read More

Easy Valentine’s Day Fabric Hoop Art

Easy Valentine's Day Fabric Hoop Art

I don't go all out for Valentine's Day like I do for other holidays, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy decorating for it. I decided that we needed to do a bit more this year and as I was rummaging through my craft room for ideas, I came across some Valentine's fabric that I had bought a couple of years ago but never used. It was the perfect base for some Easy Valentine's Day Hoop Art. And when I say easy, I mean it'll take you under fifteen minutes to make a fun collection of ... Read More

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Hoop Art

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Hoop Art

Once December hits, Christmas movies are played on repeat in our house. All Christmas, all the time. A Charlie Brown Christmas makes the rotation on a (very) regular basis. The plot of searching for the meaning of Christmas is still relevant today and who can forget that Christmas tree?? The movie is a Christmas classic and I wanted to make something special for it. My Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Hoop Art is a fun piece to stitch up and you don't need any crazy embroidery skills. This post ... Read More

Finding Dory Hoop Art

Disney is such a part of our lives and I'm not sure who is more excited for Finding Dory--me and Scott or the girls! We love watching the movies, going to the parks, and you can't turn around in our house without seeing something Disney. It only made sense to make something to celebrate the release of Finding Dory, and because I'm me, Finding Dory Hoop Art jumped out as the thing to do. This was so much fun to make and it will give you unlimited ideas for more hoop art. I used: ... Read More
