Hello there! I’m Shannon and I design, decorate and write over at AKA Design. My husband and I do a lot of DIY projects both large and small.
Today I want to share an easy Christmas craft using one of my favorite craft supplies – embroidery hoops!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- two embroidery hoops, one each 8″ and 9″
- card stock
- scissors
- real or faux greenery
- glue gun and hot glue
- jute
- marker (optional – to further embellish banner if desired)
Step 1. Print out this template and cut out each paper banner.
Step 2. Separate embroidery hoops. Place one paper banner over one inside hoop and firmly press matching outside hoop over top. Tighten ring. Repeat for second hoop.
Step 3. Hot glue real or faux greenery and berries to top of each embroidery hoop.
Step 4. Tie a jute bow over each hoop screw. Hang and enjoy.
Have you made any easy Christmas crafts lately?
Thank you for coming over!

Shannon

Okay. This is the loveliest craft that I will see today, for sure. Plain Jane wooden embroidery hoops are so attractive, but be on the lookout for vintage metal ones, too. I have a set + was pondering what I would do with them. Now I know, thanks to you!
Thanks so much Kay!
