9 Creative Ways to Use an Embroidery Hoop

I’m really not a crafty person, I don’t have the patience for it.   I do, however, love cheap decorating ideas and sometimes that requires a little crafting.  Embroidery hoop wreaths are so versatile, there is no end to the creative things you can make with them.  They only cost a dollar or two at the craft store, so they definitely fall into the budget-friendly category.

One obvious thing you can make with an embroidery hoop is a wreath.  My little eucalyptus wreath is one of my favorite craft projects that I’ve ever done.  It was so simple, it took less than ten minutes to make!

 

Here’s a genius idea,  add succulents to mini hoops and hang in groups.

 

When it comes to embroidery hoop wreaths, more is always better.  Make a wall of wreaths like you see here from Cotton Stem.  Isn’t this gorgeous?

 

Another creative idea is to use two slightly different size hoops and create a lampshade.

 

This one is not only cute but useful!

 

 

 

You could also make a beautiful mobile for a child’s room that can be easily customized to fit your theme.

 

Orbs are a great decorating accessory, that can be used almost anywhere!   Make a decorative orb using several embroidery hoops.

 

Take it one step further and fill that orb with succulents and make it a terrarium!

 

If you prefer more modern decor, try this boho wall hanging.

 

You can even use it to make a canopy for your bed!  These crafty projects are cheap and easy while still making a big impact and those are my favorite kinds of crafts.  Want to see more?  Check out some of my favorite cheap decorating ideas that look chic here!
