Embroidery Hoop Photo Message Board {Guest Post for Warm & Fuzzy}

Remember last week when  Lauren from Warm & Fuzzy was so kind as to guest post on my blog and shared and awesome Homework Box HERE? Well she let me take over her blog last week and this was the post I wrote!

I thought of the embroidery hoop message board when I was coming up with my 10 New Uses for Embroidery Hoops post and I am glad to now share it with you all!

 

I made this one for my daughters room with gray fabric, gray buttons and white and pink ribbons and I love the way it came out!

You will need:

Embroidery hoop

Two colors ribbon 

Fabric

9 buttons

Hot glue gun

Scissors

First you are going to want to put your fabric in your embroidery hoop, pull it tight and trim it up. Then to make sure it stays put, fold over the edge of the fabric around the back and hot glue it to the inside lip of the embroidery hoop. 

Next, lay out your ribbon until you get a design you think will work. 

Then, using the hot glue gun, attach one end of each of the ribbons to the side of the embroidery hoop. 

Then, pull each ribbon tight across the hoop and glue down the other side. 

Once they are all attached, turn the hoop over and hot glue the ribbon the rest of the way down.

Then, you are going to want to hot glue each of the "x's" down by adding a dot between the fabric and the ribbon and between the two pieces of ribbon. 

Now, you are ready to add your buttons, all of mine were gray but they weren't the same and I think it still looks nice. 

Lastly, you just add another color of ribbon around the edge to finish it off and you are done!

Time to hang up and add pictures!
