Hello Pumpkin Embroidery Hoop Sign

I love fall, especially when making something beautiful out of thrifted or discounted supplies!

This was fun to make and it turned out just perfect for a greeting on the door or wall. Check out the video here for all the details.

Here are the supplies I used:

12″ Embroidery hoop (thrifted)

Hobby Lobby: Fall sprig / pick

Debi’s Design Diary Faded Burlap

Raffia

Burlap

Dollar Tree: pumkin, plaid placemat

Michaels: Hello Pumpkin greeting

Wood beads

Twine for hanger

Let’s get started!

This pick from Hobby Lobby is just beautiful!

The “Hello pumpkin” wood greeting came from Michaels Make Market. I’m sure I bought it on sale!

First, be sure where your screw top is. You’ll want it on the top of your project if you use a hanger like the one I made.

Now, put the placemat in the hoop and pull it tight!

TIP: Put your burlap on before you put the fabric in the hoop, y’all! I was busy talking about our missing cat and had to go to plan B! It still works, as you’ll see below.

Trim and then hot glue the edges.

Here’s where I used plan B! The burlap can be glued on the outside, just wrap it around the hoop and glue it on the back of your project.

In the video, you’ll see that I first painted the greeting in green. It just didn’t show up well enough, so I came back with Debi’s Design Diary Faded Burlap.

Faded burlap for the win!

Hot glue will work great to attach the fall pick.

Just adding a bit more glue to hold a leaf down. It was trying to be the boss of the “p” in pumpkin!

I needed to add some glue to the edge where some of the leaves were sticking out.

Well, that was fast! Time to make the hanger!

I used three beads, two yellow and one natural. I strung them on twine and tied a loop at the top, then just tied it to the screw closure on the hoop.
