Simple Wall Art

I scored a bunch of old sewing hoops a month or so ago at a local thrift store. 

I don't sew but I thought they could be used to hold fabric wall art.

Something like this:


So one down, about 10 more to go.  Some hoops are big, some are small and some are oval.

I don't think I want to use them all this way.  Any ideas on what else I could do with these?

  2. great idea! if you're looking to do a whole wall, with a few hoops, you could vary the fabrics to get a nice (no-sew) effect.

    but i do also love the flowers you have shown above :)

  3. Sorry, I've got no new ideas for the hoops, but I wanted to say I love what you've done. Think it looks great.

  4. Hi Aaron, This is good. You could take several more, keeping all the colors neutral and have a collage on a wall mixed with some frames, just frames, no pictures or backing, that would be a conversation piece. You can take pictures and apply them to fabric in a number of ways and frame those as well. Imagine, imagine, thanks for the inspiration and I sew!

  9. I have in my "To Do" file using the outside ring and putting 2 pairs of curtains on it, putting ribbon on each side where the curtains meet and haning it from a pot hook over a bed. Hope spring will get me going on some of my to do things. ~~Sherry~~
