Time to dive in to some of the projects you spotted in Maya's nursery reveal. First up? DIY embroidery hoop art. I have been wanting to do this project for AGES, and finally had the perfect spot - a corner of Maya's nursery dying for a little colour and pattern.
Here is what you need:
-white paint + paintbrush (if you choose to paint the hoops like I did)
-fabric scraps
-scissors
-wooden embroidery hoops of various sizes (buy them at your local craft store, keep your eye peeled for them in the thrift store, or order online - here are some from amazon that are a great deal!)
It's a super straightforward project. I wanted a bright and crisp look to mine, so I decided to paint my hoops white rather than leaving them wood. I used basic white acrylic paint - two coats. And remember - the smaller hoop will be hidden behind the fabric, so you just need to paint the bigger one. Once they had dried, it was time for the fabric. I had pulled out all of my favourite fabric scraps in the colours that I knew would work in the room, and then narrowed it down to a collection that felt cohesive. These were either remnants from other projects, or fat quarters that I had purchased.
The rest of the steps are super simple and all available in the full post here!
