Looking for a cheap, easy way to decorate an empty wall? Make some embroidery hoop wall art. You can customize the fabrics to match your decor and it’s perfect for over a baby crib, because it’s very light weight.

All you need to make your own hoop art is:
1. embroidery hoops in various sizes and
2. assorted fabrics.
You can buy the wooden embroidery hoops at Michaels or Jo-Ann’s for about $1.50 each. For the fabric, I suggest going to your local quilt shop and buying fat quarters (that’s an 18″x22″ piece of fabric).
I used the same Heather Ross and Echino Fabrics that I used in the rest of Emmeline’s nursery. Just stretch the fabrics over the hoops, tighten the screw at the top, and trim off the extra fabric. I tiny little nail keeps each hoop on the wall.

Fab idea and so versatile, totally overshadowed though by your gorgeous daughter 🙂
Love this! It looks so beautiful! Great way to show some favourite fabrics too!
Cute idea! Cuter baby!
Great idea and thanks for sharing!
This is in the works for my little one’s bedroom as well. I bought the hoops probably 9 months ago but I still haven’t decided which fabric to use but having seen your post, I’m very inspired and motivated to make my decision. I love all the fabrics you have chosen – you have so many of my faves in there!
Looks so cute! I’m visiting from PlumandJune- fun to meet new people and get neat ideas!
