  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.
