DIY Decorative ORB

Directions: 

Okay, so start by staining your embroidery hoops. I did it in little sections. I slapped on the stain and wiped it off immediately. Do that for all four and then let them sit for a couple of hours to dry and let the fumes die down.

Once dry take 3 of the hoops and insert them one by one into each other making a sphere. Each hoop has a little clasp on it, when your inserting them try and keep all the metal clasp in the same spot (you’ll know what I’m talking about.) Then once you have an even sphere, take the last hoop and place it over the ball. Position it until it is in the middle of the sphere.

Then lastly, take your tacks and anywhere that the hoops cross, stick a tack in it.

You’re DONE! So easy right? When the clasps come together like I explained above, it allows the sphere to rest on it so it wont roll away.

    I don’t see where the clasps are on 3 of the 4 hoops. I only see the one hoop with it. I didn’t understand that??
    It is a cool idea. I want to make one.

      Jan, the other 3 clasp are on the bottom of the orb. The reason you can see them is because the orb is resting on it so it wont roll over. I hope that helps!
