MADE BY: SAMANTHA TAYLOR   |   TIME: 20 MINS
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE   |   SIZE: 10” CIRCLE

Supplies:

• Glue Dots^® Permanent Glue Squares^®
  
• 10” embroidery hoop
  
• One 12” x 12” sheet of Halloween themed paper and some scrap pieces
  
• Coordinating chipboard letters to spell “BOO”
  
• Halloween themed ephemera
  
• Twine or ribbon
  
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Separate embroidery hoop. Set the outer hoop aside. Run Glue Dots^® Permanent Glue Squares^® around the top of the inside (smaller) hoop.
   
   
2. Firmly press your hoop to the backside of your patterned paper.
   
   
3. Trim the patterned paper to about ¼” to ½” around the hoop. Optional: you may make small cuts around the overhanging paper to help the paper fold around the edge of the hoop.
   
   
4. Place the outer hoop around the inner hoop and paper, tighten, and screw in place. This is the hardest step. You may want to recruit an extra pair of hands to help.
   
   
5. Use your Glue Dots^® Permanent Glue Squares^® to add paper and ephemera embellishments to the paper and the hoop.
   
   
6. Then, add the word “BOO” to your hoop. Even if the letters come with adhesive on them, use Glue Dots^® Permanent Glue Squares^® to add extra hold.
   
   
7. Hang with twine or ribbon and enjoy your scary-stylish embroidery hoop!
   

This project is all about customization; for a vintage or traditional vibe stick with an orange, black, and white combo. For a whimsical look try an orange, black, green, and purple combo. For something modern try an orange, black, white, and pink combination. Use colors and embellishments that speak to your style!
