Our creative people take on unique embroidery hoop projects ome people might say we have an embroidery hoop obsession. Whenever we pass these stitching circles at estate sales (frequently for less than $1), we snatch them up like they possess magic pow- ers. In our hearts, they kind of do: Their vast versatility and easy craft-ability will win us over any day. Hoop Dreams S
For this project, I decided to use four, 12in. hoops for this project, but you could use pretty much any size, depending on what kind of bulb you will be using for the light. First, I loosened the hoops just a little, and placed three within each other, tightening as needed to create a sphere. Once I had them positioned so that they created equal negative spaces on each side, I screwed
them together at the top and bottomwhere all three rings meet. After that, I used only the outer ring of the fourth hoop to posi- tion around the sphere at the center, and then tightened it to secure in place. Finally, I spray painted the entire sphere gold and attached it to a hanging light kit that I purchased at a local home improvement store. I think it’s a fabulous, inexpensive industrial pendant!
