1 {Darling Details} Embroidery Hoops

July 26, 2010

During summercamp, as a child I used to love the arts and crafts. Popsicle sticks and yarn became gorgeous ornaments, simple thread became a cherished display of friendship when braided around a wrist and, of course, there was always practicing stitches on the embroidery hoop.

These very same hoops keep popping up in interior and event design and I thought I'd share a few fun photos! From eye level to above, the wooden rounds are transformed into more than just frames for a fun fabric or two - they add a graphic element most frames cannot.

They create a pattern of whimsical polka dots across any surface. Easily customizable for any palette and styles from rustic to modern, these cheap chic craft supplies have become more than just a practical embroidery tool.

Loving the hoops on the ceiling! What a cool idea - could add such sass to a boring space.
