Here is a really easy little craft idea for the kiddos- this is so simple that even small children can create their own little work of art.
This is a no sew project and you can choose any colors, designs, sizes that you like for your project. Plus all of the supplies are extremely inexpensive at the craft store- use a coupon on the embroidery hoops and you should pay less then $5 for this project.
Here is what you need to do:
Supplies needed:
- Small wooden embroidery hoop
- Assorted felt
- Assorted felt stickers or embellishments
- Craft glue
- Scissors
Directions:
1. Begin by cutting a small square of felt. You want it to be big enough that it covers the hoop.
2. Take the embroidery hoop apart and place the felt between the two pieces. Press the hoops back together. The felt should be nice and tight now.
3. Use your scissors to trim off any extra felt around the edges of the hoop. You want it to look nice and clean.
4. Apply some glue to the back of your felt embellishment. Be generous.
5. Press the embellishment to the felt fabric. Press it until it is dry and secure.
Typically there is only room for one shape, but if you choose a larger hoop, or smaller shapes, you may be able to fit several.
Once your spring embroidery hoop craft is dry, you can hang it just as you would a picture frame. It is the perfect pop of instant art and I bet your kids are so proud of themselves!
You can also use these this summer to cover up drinks and bowls when you eat outdoors to protect from bugs.
The unembellished side of the hoop should rest right on top of the bowl or cup and keep it protected!
