Ever since I saw gallery walls put together with fabric covered embroidery hoops, I’ve been in love!
And I’ve been racking my brain about where to put them! I mean how easy would they be to make?!
All you need are some hoops, some fabulous fabric, and art is born! Love!
Let’s take a little look at some amazing galleries!

Pretty, pretty, pretty!
So in enter my desire to make a fabric covered embroidery hoop!
While out at the fabric store one day with my little brood, my daughter found the prettiest yellow fabric!
I had to buy it, and I knew just what I was going to do with a little piece of it!
Make my very own hoop!
- I bought a wooden embroidery hoop from Michaels
- And because I like to spray paint, I sprayed it Antique White to match everything else I’ve got goin’ on in my home!
- Then when it was all dry, I covered the hoop with the fabric. Just make sure to pull the fabric tight, but not too tight, as you don’t want the fabric to become warped.
- Hang!
So easy. So pretty. Love!
Stay tuned to see where I’ve put it!

August 21, 2011 at 5:53 PMThis is genius! I’ve never seen this before. I am going to do this, for sure! I bought some fabric the other day, simply because I loved it, no idea what I will do with it. Maybe I do now! Thank you!

August 21, 2011 at 11:31 PMI’ve also never seen this before…but I love it! The one with the hoops above the crib made me think of planets…I may have to find some marbled and tye-dyed fabrics to make the different planets if we ever make the space-themed nursery my husband wants. 🙂

August 22, 2011 at 5:21 AMThey are so amazing and yours looks gorgeous! I just wish that I could find a way to get those hoops at a better price. They are so expensive brand new over here in Australia!
Thanks for the tips too.
Best wishes,

Love this!! What do you do with any extra fabric in the back of the hoop? Your hoops don’t show any excess when hung on the wall.

March 9, 2015 at 8:01 PMHi Dori! I just trimmed the excess fabric off of the back with my scissors!
