Add A Vintage Vibe To Any Room With An Embroidery Hoop Decor Hack

There is something pleasing about adding vintage accessories and décor into a room. Like bringing a little piece of nostalgia to the present, antique, thrifted, or gifted heirlooms are trendy and bring both personality and artistic flair. If you want to include some vintage pieces into your home but do not know how or where to start, one clever DIY may be the kitschiest (and most stylish) option. Using an embroidery hook to frame older fabrics and turn them into artwork is not only unique but also introduces texture into your space for more dimension and an elevated layout. These small additions pack a punch and may become the cornerstone of conversation with your guests. All you need are hoops and a few pieces of vintage fabric to create these framed designs that you can hang anywhere.

Embroidery hoops have long served as decoration, emerging in 1903 to aid people in their craft of sewing designs to display. These frames clip around fabric to keep it in place, but for this project you do not need to have any sewing experience. The main task is to start checking local thrift stores, antique shops, or even your grandparents' closet for a piece (or several pieces) of material you want to use. These can be clothing items too if you can cut them. As a great way to incorporate embroidery art in your home, but in a new and inventive style, this project also helps you find a place for those coveted vintage fabrics.

Consider the palette of the room where you want to hang your artwork. While you do not have to match your fabric embroidery hanging to the colors within your space, it is a way to help the various hues and décor flow. The material you pick can have any variation of print or pattern on it. If there are certain elements that really stick out, consider framing it. You can find a pack of hoops online or at local craft stores. You can usually find varied sizes within. This allows you to cut out different prints to decorate with.

You could get even more creative and use multiple pieces of fabric within the hoop. This may require building a collage with fabric glue before opening the frame and clipping the whole thing in, then trimming the excess. This allows you to design your own artwork with a variety of prints and colors that match, or you can just stick with the one and hang them throughout the room wherever they work with your décor. These are also ideal as a unique design trend for textured accent walls, with people using everything from blankets and rugs to curtains to cover their surfaces for more dimension and a softer finish. While you can always find clever uses for these frames, including as stylish embroidery hoop bird feeders, this DIY is certainly the most fashionable and functional for your indoor aesthetic.
