DIY embroidery hoop spheres

If you’ve ever seen our craft room, you would have noticed our collection of embroidery hoops aaaand since we have a bunch of tacks left over from Kelli’s Restoration Hardware vintage industrial letter knock off project, I decided to combine the stash of hoops with the tacks and whipped up what turned into a few embroidery hoop spheres in no time!

Look how cute these spheres are! So easy to make these DIY embroidery hoop spheres! Love this trendy orb look, get it for less!

These little hoops can be a bit tricky to put together so we bonded them together one hoop at a time so the spheres are very sturdy.

embroidery hoop spheres – make your own

To make your own:

  1. Form the 2 plain hoops + 1 with hardware to make a 3-ring atom shaped hoop, (refer to the top middle picture of the collage,) then glue securely.
  2. Use the 4th hoop, (that also has hardware on it,) to wrap it around the 3-ring atom shaped hoops.
  3. Remove one of the screws and cross the hardware.
  4. Put the screw back into the hardware so the hoops are secure but not too tight to avoid cracking the wooden hoops.
    Press tacks where the hoops meet.
  5. Stain or paint. (optional)

Seriously easy, right?

A few tips while creating your own hoop spheres…

  • If you encounter a little gap like I did on one side simply squeeze a small amount of Elmers ProBond Advance (or wood glue) in between the gap then wrap a 2″ strip of Elmers Clamp Tape until dry and those pieces are stuck firmly together. Wipe excess glue immediately.
  • I used a small hammer to get the tacks firmly in but remember to tap into the hoops gently so you don’t crack the hoops.

However you stage these cute spheres, they’re sure easy on the wallet and add a bit of elegance to the space! Please pin so your friend’s can make these too!

  1. Love love love….just no cheap embroidery hoops to be found in my neck of the woods….and how many can one bring home after a visit to the USA? I actually did the same thing with gold bangles from the dollar store to make elegant ornaments for our succah…..the sphere always looks great! Thanks so much for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!

  2. Love these hoops. Made the sphere (to look like atom with 3 of them 2 plain and l with hardware but I cannot figure out what you mean for the 4th hoop which again has hardware on it.Where you say ” Use the 4th hoop (when wrapping around the “atom” shaped hoops) to screw in between the other hoop that has hardware on it.” I’m absolutely
    lost. Where does this darn hoop go on the outside, of the other 3 or where. I’ve been trying to fiddle with this for over l hr. and am just about in tears. Thanks

    1. Hi Dorelle,
      Sorry that this project is taking forever! To say it a different way, there are 3 hoops: 2 plain (no hardware) and 2 with hardware. Here’s the new verbiage for the DIY to further explain:

      1- Form the 2 plain hoops + 1 with hardware to make a 3-ring atom shaped hoop, (refer to the top middle picture of the collage,) then glue securely.
      2- Use the 4th hoop, (that also has hardware on it,) to wrap it around the 3-ring atom shaped hoops.
      3- Remove one of the screws and cross the hardware.
      4- Put the screw back into the hardware so the hoops are secure but not too tight to avoid cracking the wooden hoops.
      Press tacks where the hoops meet.
      5- (Optional) Stain or paint.

      Please email if you would like more pictures. I think we can add a video, if that helps, but have updated the post. 🙂 Thanks for your patience! It’s worth it as they’re very pretty displayed!

  3. Hi!

    Dumb question :)-how did you remove the hardware from the other 3 hoops? It looks like they are riveted in.

    Thank you!

    1. Hi Lynne! Not a dumb question!! We didn’t remove the hardware but just unscrewed the little screw that holds the hoops together is all. 🙂 LMK if you need more instructions, thanks!

  4. Awesome! I love how they look!! When I first glanced at them, I didn’t notice that they were hoops. Super creative!! Pinning 🙂

  5. These look so fantastic and expensive! I bet they would look awesome hanging up as well. What color stain did you use? It has such a nice, rich color!
