He's Making a List - Suzanne's Altered Christmas Embroidery Hoop

Hello Crafty Friends!
Suzanne has a beautiful Christmas decor project for us today. Check out her altered embroidery hoop - it's just magical!

Hello everyone, I hope you have all been enjoying some wonderful Christmas crafting time and that you have finished all your Christmas shopping. 

This project was such a lot of fun and so very simple to make. I used an eight inch embroidery hoop and some of the beautiful papers and ephemera pieces  from the Carta Bella range to decorate my hoop.  I also used the gorgeous Heidi Swapp trims for this project.

I traced around the outside of the hoop onto the paper I chose for the background and cut it out.

Using the same paper, I cut hillsides to layer onto the background.

I fussy cut the images I wanted to use for the altered hoop.

I added dimensional dots to the back of the hillsides.

I attached the hillsides to the background with dimensional dots between each layer

Here you can see all the dimension

I have placed the different fussy cut elements on different layers of the hillside.

I used the white pom pom trim to go around the hoop

Diamond Dust adds a touch of sparkle to the hillsides

I used the gorgeous blue ribbon to make a double bow for the top of the hoop.

Here is my finished embroidery hoop.

Thank you so much for having a look at my Christmas Embroidery Hoop.  I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and thank you for all your support throughout the year.  I really appreciate it.
