ALTERED EMBROIDERY HOOP - NATASHA POLITE

Hi crafty friends! It's Natasha Polite here sharing an altered embroidery hoop that will serve as room decor for my daughter. I used Mon Cheri paper for this project since the color palette fits her room perfectly.

I used a 7 inch embroidery hoop and backed it with a solid blush piece from the Mon Cheri Collection. I then used the gold leopard print washi included in the Love washi set to cover the front edges of the hoop. Black ribbon was then used to line the sides and hide any tape overhang. I adhered that with my Teresa Collins Mega Runner.

From there, I began playing around with more of the washi, fussy cut floral images from the paper, and Teresa Collins stickers. I layered all of these elements until I found balance around my image, adding dimension with pop dots when needed.

The left edge of the hoop is a collage with mostly fussy cut florals. A few elements were colored with alcohol markers to add more interest and texture.

I covered a heart die cut with the gold leopard washi and added it into the floral collage to break up all of the white in the florals. From there I decided more gold was needed and added in a small foiled starburst sticker using a pop dot. 

The final touches included adding a few glimmer drops and a gold bow at the top. I hope you enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed making it!
