These DIY Mini Embroidery Hoop Necklaces are so stinking cute! They really are so simple to make, and they make absolutely adorable embroidered handmade gifts too {think Mother's Day, birthdays, Christmas, etc. etc. etc). I'm also going to show you how to embroider a super simple rose, today (see step-by-step imagery below ). So even if you've never embroidered before, you'll be able to make these sweet DIY Embroidery Hoop Necklaces!
Read on for the simple supply list and tutorial, to make your own DIY Mini Embroidery Hoop Necklaces + a Super Simple Embroidered Rose How-to.
What you'll need:
- Scissors
- A pencil
- A Philips head screw driver
- Low-temp hot glue gun + 1 low-temp hot glue stick
- Mini embroidery hoops / mini embroidery frames ( I found the ones pictured at Hobby Lobby)
- Fabric of your choosing
- Embroidery needle
- Embroidery floss in your choice of colors
- Ball chain necklaces (found in packs of multiples at most craft stores)
How to:
- Pop the center portion out of the mini embroidery hoops / embroidery frames.
- Use a pencil to trace around the outer edges (refer to image below)
- Create your mini embroidery inside the parameters of the pencil lines (leave a little room on the outer edges as they will be tucked/glued on the outer edges of the hoop/frame.) If you're new to embroider, see my super simple embroidered rose how-to, below.
- Use scissors to cut our your completed mini embroidery (cut about a quarter inch around the outside of the pencil lines leaving space to glue your mini embroidery down on the outer edges
- Use a few small dots of low-temp hot glue to secure your mini embroidery to the outer edges of the center portion of your mini embroidery hoop / mini embroidery frame (making sure to pull it tight and avoid getting glue on the underside of the actual embroidered area / framed portion of embroidery.
- Replace the frame around the center portion of the mini embroidery hoop / mini embroidery frame (use a screw driver to lightly tighten/secure the screw.)
- Secure a ball chain necklace through the center portion of the mini embroidery hoop / mini embroidery frame just below the screw / center (refer to images).
- Wear or gift to someone special and ENJOY!
Super Simple Embroidered Rose How-To
1. Draw a circle . Stitch a 5 point star (refer to image below.) After your 5 point star is stitched, bring your needle and thread up from the underside, just to the side of the center of your 5 point star.
4. When your flower is complete. Drive your needle and thread down through the perimeter edge of the flower (make sure that you don't catch any of the thread from your flower in the process.)
Happy Crafting, friends!
