Earlier this year I was privileged to have a Christmas ornament published in the Holiday Cards & More special edition from Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine. I love playing with embroidery hoops and paper but this was my first one on a smaller canvas!
Here's the basic directions as to how I did it:
-Take the embroidery hoop apart and using the inside circle.
-Add a quick drying glue or hot glue along the top rim.
-Attach the paper of your choice to it and allow that to dry.
-Trim it down so that you have a circle slightly larger than the hoop.
-Add a quick drying glue or hot glue along the top rim.
-Attach the paper of your choice to it and allow that to dry.
-Trim it down so that you have a circle slightly larger than the hoop.
-Going around the circle - trim notches so that you can easily bend the additional paper onto the side of the hoop.
-Add quick drying glue to the side of the hoop and fold all those pieces down.
-Add your top hoop and your paper should now be secure!
Decorating these is super fun and nice change from the quadrilateral shape we are used to working in! For this one I added a bold burlap bow and I really liked the effect it had!
