Here’s a good look at completed hoop:

Here is the tutorial how I created my embroidery hoop:

****************************************************

The first thing I did was paint the embroidery hoop with Prima Heavy gesso.

Select an embroidery hoop that fits the size of your project and a patterned paper you would like for covering your hoop.

I traced around the outside lightly with a pencil and cut it out. It is a lot easier to do this when the paper is not attached to the hoop.

Then i cut heart shape papers as it for 2 layer, 1st layer from 6X6 paper pad, 2nd layer cut from A4 paper

Collect fussy cut images from pattern paper

Few images from Rose Quartz Ephemera Cardstock Die-Cuts

Then arranging all together ribbon, gem stones, embroidery laces

For more beautiful look add Prima Flowers

Finally

Embroidery hoops are perfect for lots of different crafting projects and I’ve seen some adorable ones around the web! I thought I would give it a try with the Prima paper to create a hoop to hang in daughter’s room. The colors in this collection are a perfect match for girly decor!

You can buy embroidery hoops at your local craft store for a relatively low price. They vary in size so you could choose the one that fits your project. Here i choose 10"inch diameter hoop.
