Super Easy DIY- Embroidery Hoop Wall Hanging

Large art pieces can get pricey, this modern art beauty can be made for a real bargain, embroidery hoops are the key. A little hot glue, floral wire, and gold leaf make for a spectacular embroidery hoop art project.

Last fall, I decided to update our foyer area for the One Room Challenge. The foyer was a tad tricky due to 20 foot ceiling height, a set of stairs, narrow hallway and really large shallow art niches. The whole project came together beautifully and six months later, the space still looks gorgeous. One of my favorite projects involved filling the art niche. How do you get a large art piece on a really small budget? Well, you create embroidery hoop art!

Embroidery hoops are becoming the craft darling as of late. Everything from wreaths to art to actually using the hoops for embroidery (go figure, right?) is popping up on Pinterest. The hoops are reasonably priced option when you are wanting to create, I have even seen folks use the hoops as a stencil for adding polka dots to a wall!

Let’s get started on this art project!

super easy diy embroidery hoop wall hanging

MATERIALS:

Embroidery Hoops – variety of sizes
22 gauge Floral wire
Hot glue gun
Hot glue gun sticks

Gold leaf paint

STEP 1

Measure your space and make note of it. You will measure your art piece from time to time just to keep your sanity.

STEP 2

Take apart your embroidery hoops, use the solid hoops first. I ended up cutting off the metal connector part of the other hoop half and hot glued the ends together. Gently bend the wood back into shape before gluing.

STEP 3

Start with the largest hoop and hot glue a mix of other hoop sizes on top, bottom, left, and right. Then begin to add more hoops to each of those hoops. Use a mix of large, medium and small hoops to create a free-flowing piece of art. There isn’t a wrong way and there isn’t a right way to do this – just try to avoid huge negative spaces between the hoops.

STEP 4

Paint the hoop art in your favorite color. I chose to paint mine white. Make sure to paint both sides and interior. Allow to dry.

STEP 5

Once the embroidery hoop art is dry, begin wrapping the floral wire around the areas where you hot glued the hoops together. Tuck the wire ends into the wrapped area so they are not seen.

I tried a heavier gauge wire and it was harder to wrap and keep taut. Use a fine grit sandpaper to smooth out the rough areas.

STEP 6

Paint the green floral wire with Gold leaf paint.

STEP 7

Hang your art work. Thankfully this artwork is very lightweight and requires simple nails to hold it in place. We hung the piece using nails at the top corners, middle and lower corners.

Wanna know how much the whole project cost? $20! I had all the supplies on hand except the embroidery hoops (which I got on sale)

Imagine how fun this project would look mixed with framed family pictures or a fun focal point in a nursery? The possibilities are endless!

Till Later,

Joy

Love your idea. You mentioned possibly using framed family pictures. How would this be done.

  I made one for a photo of my granddaughter that I wanted to frame but didn't happen to have an extra frame for. I had a oval hoop that I had gotten at a garage sale. Here's a list of what I used.
  1. Hoop, oval
  2.photo copy of picture
  3. Scissors
  4. Small seashells
  5. Hot glue, glue gun
  6. Soda can tab
  Cut out your photo to fit your hoop but add 1/ 4 inch around. Bend up that extra 1/4 inch by cutting every 1/ 2 inch or so, by bending up, you can slip the photo in between the hoops so that the photo is sitting towards the back as oposed to in front or on top. Then i hot glued the seashells all around to "frame" the picture and than I hot glued a soda can tab to the back for a hanger. Done ! Unless you want to paint or stain your hoop, I left mine because it was already painted green but thinking about painting a prettier color soon.Hope you like my little project 😍

Roll Out Broom Storage and Small Update to My Laundry Room.

I have a small laundry room that is the only access to my back deck and yard. I’ve lived in my home now over three years now and just hated the mess of open shelving and various brooms and mops showing. It’s a small room with no options of adding more space, so I decided to use the 18” of space between the dryer and open shelving. I decided a rolling broom closet would be the perfect solution. And I decided while I was doing all this to go ahead and paint the cabinets over the washer and dryer. I had already purchased bins for the open shelving and it made a big difference. The updates just completed the look I was hoping for.

DIY Yarn Wall Hanging

I am totally digging this bohemian decor trend with all the macrame wall hangings I am seeing all over Pinterest lately. There are literally hundreds of macrame tutorials on Pinterest but between my job, Craftshop and the kiddos needing me to get them 341 snacks per day, the thought of taking the time to make a macrame wall hanging was giving me hives. So I decided to do a stupid easy DIY yarn wall hanging that only took me about 20 minutes.

One of my goals there was to replace a set of seashell prints I’ve had for years with something with a little more boho flavor, so I decided to create a DIY mandala wall hanging.

Eastlake Bedset Makeover

I have always wanted an old antique bedroom set and stay on the lookout for one that is affordable. My limit was $250 and I had been keeping my eye out on local swap shop sites and Craigslist. Low and behold I found the bed and a dresser for $200. The ads pictures looked like it was in decent shape and stated that it really did not need a lot of work just a few minor things. Not! When I went to pick it up my husband was a flat out “No”, this is just junk, it would require way to much money, time, and work to bring it back to original. I refused to leave it, I paid the lady as my husband turned red and looked about ready to leave me there with the bedset. We started loading and as we did pieces began to crack and break and I cringed inside hoping it wasn’t a wasted $200. I got it home and accessed the damage. I had to do a lot of reinforcements on the headboard because of its height. There was a lot of detail that had to be replicated with wood filler and trim. The footboard was cracked and the marble tops to the dresser were cracked. I started pricing what it was going to be to bring this back to original and decided that it was just not doable. I pondered on leaving it in storage until I had the time and money. I had come up with something else. My home is very rustic/Farmhouse so painting it would work. I know a lot of people cringe when they see old pieces painted but sometimes that is the only solution. So I began tediously repairing the bed and replacing the marble tops on the dresser with wood.

Privacy Fencing Mini-makeover

My deck has been neglected since we moved in 4 years ago. And because our dining room window faces into the privacy fencing for the hot tub, I just couldn’t stand the thought of looking at it for another winter! So I decided to do a quick and inexpensive update before the winter hits. I bought a can of paint and ‘shopped’ in our garage for cast off items.
