There comes a time in every crafters life when their secret fabric stash is spilling out of control and yet we cannot help but buy more. There are a lot of different projects you can do with remnants and scraps of Fabric but I'm sure a lot of you won't know what you can do with just a simple embroidery hoop, or ten! How To: Make Embroidery Hoop Wall Art You will need: - scissors - Fray check (I would highly recommend Pryms Gold-Zack Fray check) - 10 - 20 embroidery hoops, we stock sizes from 4" to 12" (a mixture of different sizes has more of an effect in my opinion) - Again, 10 - 20 different (or some of them can be the same) pieces of fabric remnants that you may have acquired form previous projects all of which would need to be about an inch larger than the hoops you intend to use Step 1 - Choose which pieces of your fabric will go in each embroidery hoop - you may have one fabric that you like more than the others, so if you have a fairly large piece of it maybe you could put stretch it across the biggest hoop you will be using. Step 2 - Once you have decided which fabrics will be used on each hoops, cut the remnants so that once they are stretched over the hoop you can cut the fabric down so it isn't noticeable. Step 3 - After all the fabric pieces are stretched across the embroidery hoops, cut the fabric sticking out of the back to as close as the hoop as you can and then go around the edges with fray check so that they will not end up fraying. Step 4 - Decide how you want them arranged across one of your walls and then put them up! If it is not wall art that you are looking to make, here are just a few ideas to make use of an old embroidery hoop: Chalkboard signs (or just a chalkboard) - depending on how big you want the sign or chalk board depends what size you will want your embroidery hoop/s to be - using any of our embroidery hoops and our chalky vintage look paints which come in a wide variety of colours, pearl blue, aqua and antique pink to name a few. Children's mobiles - again depending the size you want depends which size hoop to get but you can tie strips of lots of different fabrics and/or ribbons to it in a rainbow of different colours! Jewellery holder - you can use any colour/pattern and any type of fabric for this, weaving a bobble topped pins in and out of the fabric in different places enables you to pop any dangly earrings or necklaces off it and you can hang it on a wall so it is out of the way and causing no clutter elsewhere. Food guards -  using egyptian cotton muslin stretched over the hoop and placed on top of sugary drinks or over bowls of crisps, plates of sandwiches on a sunny afternoon so flies, bees and other many legged friends cannot get into your grub!
