I love to create my own wall art, and it’s easy and affordable to do. You don’t have to be an artist or own expensive equipment to complete this embroidery hoop art DIY tutorial. I combined Darice iron-on transfers with fabric squares to create pretty, glittery wall art.
Embroidery Hoop Art DIY Tutorial Supplies:
- Darice Woden Embroidery Hoops – 6 inch, 14 inch
- Darice Iron-On Transfers – Assorted Paris, Je T’aime
- Gold Paint
- Gold Glitter Paint
- Fabric
- Darice Gold Sparkle Tape
Step 1. Begin this embroidery hoop art DIY tutorial by separating the hoops and painting the outer sides of the hoops. Paint one base application of gold paint. Let it dry.
Step 2. Paint the hoops with multiple applications of gold glitter paint. The more layers you add, the heavier and thicker the glitter finish will be. I applied 4 layers of glitter paint.
Step 3. Use the unpainted hoops to measure and cut the desired fabric.
Step 4. Place the desired transfer onto the fabric, and press on the image with an iron, set to high. When the plastic cover has cooled, carefully peel the cover sheet back to reveal the beautiful gold lettering and designs.
If the transfer begins to peel up when you’re removing the plastic backing, stop and iron again over those spots. Let cool and try again.
Step 5. Place the image transferred fabric on the unpainted hoop and center it. Slide the painted hoop over the fabric and tighten the top. Trim off the excess fabric.
Step 6. Cut strips of the gold glitter tape and fold the centers into the middle of the tape. Use a small strip of tape to make the center of the bow and to hold it together. Glue the bow onto the top of the hoop.
These glittery pieces make perfect wall art for a girl’s room or a powder room! Since the hoops open so easily, you can easily change the fabric and images whenever you like. Have fun crafting and creating wall art with this embroidery hoop art DIY tutorial!
