Hoop-la!
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!
What a great idea! I think I know where this is going . . . 🙂
What a lovely idea. Really like the idea for the baby room.
Love this idea!
I’ve been meaning to do this too and I love the fabric you found – which store was it?
These are so cute! I will definitely have to keep this project in mind for when I redecorate my girl’s room! Thanks for sharing!
adorable! I love the one where they are hanging above the crib. So smart! Love your new fabric too 🙂
I love the hoops too! I have a few pics pinned on Pinterest. Yours looks great. I love the fabric!
I have some hoops that I have been wanting to do something with. I am lazy 🙂 It’s all in the choice of fabrics if you ask me.
What a great idea! I’ve never seen these done before. I love it.
love this! thanks for sharing yours and others! beautiful!
GORGEOUS!! I too am in love with the hoops 😉 I have a ton of them waiting for the right inspiration. Thanks for reminding me how much I love the look of them!!
Those fabric hoops are so pretty! Now I’m racking my brain on where I could hang some around here… 🙂
Hope you have a good weekend, Jo-Anna!
This 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!

Love your hoop-la! SO CUTE, what a darling sunny yellow print. I so want to do some hoop-la myself. Thanks for linking, winks-jen
love that fabric!!! Great project so I’ll be on the lookout for vintage fabrics at my local thrift shops!
I’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. 🙂
I have just recently done up my craft room and seen these when looking for some inspiration so I have bought some fabric, Amy Butler of course and hoops and will be doing the same as you, spray paint hehe and then I can’t wait to hang them around, LOVE yours super CUTE!

They 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,

I love it! I had picked up a few hoops at a garage sale earlier this summer with plans on doing this! I love all the pictures you included in your post… I’ll have to pin a few : )
Your hoop-la is such a great idea for incorporating color and pattern. I LOVE IT! I haven’t seen anything like it and that can be hard to say in the blog-o-sphere!
I just found your site through a blog party and am happy to be a new follower. I would love for you to link your post up at my Savvy HomeMade blog party at

Hi
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.
Hi Dori! I just trimmed the excess fabric off of the back with my scissors!
