Jack-o-lantern hoop art {tutorial}

Hi, I'm Gentri from Little LuLu's Nest

a place where my sister and I share

our latest projects, parties, and recipes

we are also having a blast creating

new Fall items in our shop

Brittany asked me to be here today

and share a little tutorial

so i thought i'd share

something having to do with

my favorite holiday

if you've seen our blog

you know that we love embroidery hoops

and since they're the perfect pumpkin shape

i thought why not decorate with them

for halloween

hoops come in all different sizes

i stuck to 1 med size

and 3 smaller sizes

(since our family has one big person and 3 smaller persons)

1. spray paint your hoops
(i did mine black, since they're for halloween)

2. cut out circles in the fabric you choose.
making sure you leave a bit hanging over
(you'll glue this fabric behind the hoop when you're all done)

 here are my hoops
all ready for faces

3. cut out different felt shapes for jack-o-lantern faces
(i google imaged jack-o-lantern faces to get some ideas)
4. glue them on with fabric glue
or hot glue would work too.
5. then i did a simple hand-stitch around the shapes
or you can just leave it at step four

6. tuck your raw edges and glue behind the hoops

here's my little family of jack-o-lanterns!

this would also be an inexpensive neighbor/friend gift

for halloween

just toss in a bag of halloween candy

and you have an instant festive gift!

come stop by and say hello!
