Embroidery Hoop Ornaments

Who remembers Puffy Paint??  For a lot of us, we’ve used it in the past, but not recently.  I thought of some fun ways to use it in holiday crafting, and I think I’m hooked again!  It’s so fun and easy and a great way to craft and customize projects.  Today I’m going to have 3 different projects for you – yes, 3, what a bonus day!!  I’m kicking it off with these super cute Embroidery Hoop Ornaments:

You’ll need:

–embroidery hoops (desired size)

–fabric (larger than embroidery hoop)

–Tulip Puff Paint

–ribbon for hanging

First cut the fabric to a square about 1 inch larger than your hoop all the way around. For one of the hoops I actually sewed 3 pieces of fabric together in strips, and then used it.  Place fabric in hoop and tighten to secure.

Embellish with Puff Paint.  Get creative!!  I used text on one, but on another I used the fabric as a guide and embelleshed on top of snowflakes and dots, etc. If it’s really detailed, try using a straight pin to drag the paint out for tiny details.

When writing words, you can print a template and then place it under your design and “trace” it with the slick paint.

Let dry.  Meanwhile create “clings” by designing ornament toppers on a plastic bag.  Let dry.

When the paint is dry, cut around the outside of the hoop, leaving about a half inch or so to spare.

On the backside, turn under that edge and glue to the hoop as shown below:

Tie ribbon to hoop screw to create a loop.

    

Peel up dried ornament toppers and glue over hoop screw holder to create ornament topper.

It adds a nice finishing touch!!
