No-Sew Fabric Embroidery Hoops

We moved into a new house a little over a year ago, and were blessed with much more space.  Included in this extra space was a laundry room (and an amazing washer/dryer set...props to my hubby & our realtor for good negotiation skills!) filled with natural light.  I loved the clean feel of the room, but noticed that it needed a little pop of color.  I always enjoy browsing the beautiful fabrics at the store, but I can {barely} sew.  Enter in my no-sew fabric embroidery hoops!

These fun fabrics came from Walmart...who knew?

Materials needed: fabric, embroidery hoops of assorted sizes, scissors, hot glue gun

First, iron the material nice and flat.

Next, place the material in the embroidery hoop, making sure that it is even and that your material is centered where you want it.  Tighten the hoop with the screw, and pull the material, stretching it a little so that it is taut in the hoop.
Lastly, tack down the material to the back of the embroidery hoop so that it doesn't slip through once it's on the wall.  Trim off the excess material, and voila!


Hammer a nail in the wall, and hang the hoop from the little space under the tightening screw.
A nice little bit of color without having to sew!
