I just love mini embroidery hoops and I think they have so much potential to make beautiful projects. My take on a mini embroidery hoop is to make a fabric covered necklace.
I have chosen to use the lovely Craft Cotton Co blue geometric fat quarters. This fabric collection is delicate and pretty with a contemporary feel.
What you need
Mini embroidery hoop – I chose a fun cat shape found on an online auction site.
Necklace chain or jewellery cotton- I chose a faux rose gold chain from Hobbycraft
Fabric
Hot glue gun
Needle and tread
Embroidery floss- If you wish to add extra detail
Embroidery needle
The embroidery hoop piece
Part A
Part B
Part C
Step 1
Cut your fabric larger than the shape of part A using a similar method as if you were doing a self-covered button.
Step 2
Here is your chance to create your own embroidery design if you want to or add any beads, buttons or embellishments to your fabric.
Step 3
Run a gathering stitch close to the edge of your fabric shape. Place part A in the centre of your fabric on the wrong side. Pull the treads to tighten the shape around part A.
Step 4
Using your glue gun with care adhere the fabric to part A.
Step 5
Using your glue gun with care, glue the outer rim of part C and place part B on top of part C
Step 6
Using your glue gun with care apply plenty of glue to the centre of part B.
Step 7
Place part A right side up to part B and press firmly so it adheres.
Step 8
Attach your necklace chain or jewellery thread through the hole.
You can now do a happy dance and wear your me made necklace with pride!
Hope you enjoyed this project
