How to Make Pumpkin Embroidery Hoops
STEP ONE
To begin, gather all supplies. Paint the outside and top edge of the outside ring of the three embroidery hoops with Dark Brown acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry.
STEP TWO
Fit the plaid fabrics loosely into the embroidery hoops. Pull fabric gently from the back to ensure the fabric is taught and then tighten the screw at the top of the hoop. Trim the excess plaid fabric from the back of each embroidery hoop with scissors. Apply a thin line of Fabric Glue to the cut edge of the fabric to secure. Set aside to dry. Fabric fat quarters are the perfect way to get a variety of plaids without spending a lot of money.
STEP THREE
Next, Cut large, medium, and small rectangles of dark green and olive green felt, then cut out a football or leaf shape with scissors. Apply a small amount of hot glue to each leaf tip, and fold it in half to create dimension.
STEP FOUR
Cut long, skinny rectangles of dark brown felt for the pumpkin stems. Fold felt in half, and thread through the screw at the top of the hoop. Open the loop, insert the cut ends into the loop and pull tight to create the pumpkin stems. Trim any excess with scissors.
STEP FIVE
Finally Cut several lengths of natural jute twine and tie in a knot around the stem of the hoop pumpkins. Trim any excess with scissors. To finish the embroidery pumpkin hoop, attach felt leaves to the top of each hoop pumpkin with a glue gun and glue sticks.
