Easy to create with just a few supplies these embroidery hoop orbs make great statement pieces! No tools needed. Stain them any color your like.
There’s nothing new under the sun. A wise king named Solomon penned these words years ago. And he was absolutely right. Just when we think we’ve come up with something new – a quick Google search will tell us differently. Such is the case with these embroidery hoop orbs!
I’ve long-loved the industrial look of wood or metal orbs. We have one out on the patio coffee table that’s made of metal. But even one picked up at Target can come with a price tag that is a little steep for such a simple piece.
Wooden embroidery hoops on the other hand are rather inexpensive. And these embroidery hoop orbs are quite easy to make.

Do you have any wooden embroidery hoops kicking around? How about some wood stain? You know where I’m going with this…why not make your own embroidery hoop orbs?

Hi, Shannon, I’m not a blogger, but always looking for great ideas! I have several wine barrel hoops and was wondering if you think it would be possible to do the same idea with??
Oh I’m sure you could! Those would be fun! If you try it, come back and tell us how it turned out!
Did you use all the same size of embroidery hoops?
Yup!
Beautiful and creative project. The orbs you used are 2 sets of diferent sizes
