This embroidery hoop mobile is really easy to make but, you might need a little patience. I had glue all over the place; the floor, the scrapbook paper, my hands, because it’s basically an orb and won’t stay put no matter how many times you try to stand it upright! ;)
ATTACHING THE HOOPS
GLUING SCRAPBOOK PAPER TO HOOPS
I spread the glue on one frame, pressed the paper, and did it again for the other side of the frame. I waited around 10 minutes. It’ll take longer to cure but, this seemed to be a good amount of time to let it sit so the paper wouldn’t continually move around on me as I finished the other sides. Now 1/4 of the mobile is covered.
I did the same as above for each 1/4 section.
Now that all 4 sides are covered, you can see the gaps in varying degrees where I didn't push the paper in all the way. This doesn't cause a problem other than aesthetics and if you happen to have a problem with unevenness.
TRIMMING THE PAPER
After trimming, I put a piece of string through the top and hung it in our back, catch all room. Knowing my idea actually worked has me excited to try more!

I love these. They would look like big Christmas balls if do in Christmas colors. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks.
