How to Arrange Embroidery Hoop Decorations

Hang a fabric-filled hoop from a nail or hook on a wall, just as you would hang a picture frame. Hang one hoop alone or arrange an elaborate pattern of circles to create a graphic, multidimensional decoration. Create a bunch of balloons in a child's room, a cluster of bubbles in a bathroom, or a string of pearls in a woman's closet.

Sew or paint embroidery hoop contents to look like glass ball Christmas ornaments. Hang the decorations throughout the holiday season to complement or replace Christmas wreaths. Add a ribbon loop to the top of baseball-size embroidery hoops to create actual Christmas ornaments. Mix flat hoop ornaments with their spherical counterparts to create a classic visage with a textural twist.

Place one to four filled embroidery hoops on a wall to use as bulletin boards. Arrange them above a desk or near a door. Pin notes or a calender to the fabric to organize critical information. Place empty or filled embroidery hoops on the wall to act as the foundation of a clip organizer. Hot glue clothespins around the ring. Clip notes, photos or holiday cards to the ring to create a wreath of noteworthy reminders or meaningful mail.

Set filled embroidery hoops on shelves among books and small decorative items. Think of an embroidery hoop's presence on a bookshelf the same way you think of a throw pillow on a sofa. You add the throw pillow to interject color or texture in the setting. Add color and texture to your shelved displays by tucking the fabric-filled hoops around books and objects that need a colorful boost.

Attach a translucent thread to an embroidery hoop to create a hanging fixture. Tie the thread to the hoop itself to hang the object vertically (the way it appears on a wall). Run the clear thread through the fabric center of the decoration to hang the object horizontally in a tile-like pattern with other embroidery hoops. Assemble a broad tiled pattern to create the illusion of a pieced canopy hanging from the ceiling. Alternatively, hang several hoops vertically over a crib to fashion a mobile. Secure the translucent thread to the ceiling with low-profile nails or hooks.
