Embroidery hoops can come in different sizes and shapes. Here are 18 easy-to-make DIY home decor crafts using embroidery hoops.
Who knew there were so many uses for an Embroidery Hoop!
Embroidery hoops are usually made of wood, but I have also seen them made of plastic and in many different colors.
These DIY projects are inexpensive, which makes them great for crafts!
