Embroidery Hoop Upcycling DIY with Fabric Scraps

July 3, 2012


Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope you were all having a fabulous weekend! :)
Mine was awesome, our friends came over the weekend, we saw Blink 182 in Berlin, spent lots of quality time with our friends, went thrifting and Jenny and I took tons of outfit photos. :)
To get crafty, here’s a new DIY for you with which you can recycle your fabric scraps. :)

You need:

– A wooden embroidery hoop
– Lots of little fabric scraps
– Pins
– A plain piece of fabric which is a bit bigger than the hoop
– A hot-glue gun
– A sewing machine (but you can also sew by hand, it only takes a bit longer)

Put the wooden embroidery hoop onto the plain piece of fabric and draw a dotted line around it, leaving a tiny bit of space. This line marks the area in which you attach the scraps. Next, cut out lots of fabrics scraps of about the same size. :)

Cut the scraps in shape and attach the first row on the bottom of your dotted area and see if it fits well. The area which you fill with scraps should be bigger than the loop. After you’ve attachted the first row of scraps with pins, use your sewing machine (or your hands) to sew them onto the piece of fabric.

Do the same with all the other rows, starting at the bottom and finishing on the top until the whole marked area is filled with fabric scraps. Next, take your wooden hoop to frame your colorful picture.

Use the hot-glue gun to attach the edges of the fabric onto the back and then you’re done! :)
So colorful, so easy and such a pretty home decor item and a way to recycle some of your fabric leftovers! :)

Wish you a lovely week,
Lu :)

    Das ist ja eine schöne Idee. Und dafür kann man ja wirklich mini-Fitzel-Stoffreste gebrauchen :)

    Das ist ja eine coole Idee, hab die "Schuppen" schon bei deinem Header bewundert. Wo kaufst du denn immer die Webrahmen? Ich möchte so was in der Art auch voll gern ausprobieren, bin aber nicht sicher wo ich die Webrahmen am besten kaufe.
    Solche Wochenenden mit viel Quality time sind wirklich gold wert, hab auch gerade so eins hinter mir :-)

    Hey, süße Idee ♥ Kann es sein, dass es in der Zeitschrift Mollie Makes ein ähnliches DIY gab? Kommt mir grade irgendwie bekannt vor…
