* indicates required

Materials needed:

  • Wooden Embroidery Hoops, 4” in diameter – Two
  • Wooden Candlestick, 2.75” – One
  • Wooden Finial, ½” – One
  • Acrylic Craft Paint – Dark Brown
  • Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
  • Paintbrush
  • Paper Towels or Baby Wipes

Instructions:

STEP ONE

Gather all supplies. Wooden embroidery hoops can be found in the stitching area of the craft store. Unfinished wooden candlesticks and finials can be found in the craft section. Loosen the metal screws and separate the inner and outer hoops so you have four total.

STEP TWO

Mix dark brown acrylic craft paint with some water on a paper plate. Roughly and quickly paint all surfaces of the four unfinished wooden embroidery hoops with the watered-down paint mixture, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. This will give the unfinished wooden hoops a stained effect without having to use messy stain. 

You can either leave the hoops dark brown or wipe off some of the excess paint with a wet paper towel or baby wipe before it dries completely. Set aside to allow the paint to dry completely.

STEP THREE

Repeat the above step with the unfinished wooden candlestick and finial. Painting on the watered down dark brown paint and then wiping away any excess. Set all wooden parts aside to dry.

STEP FOUR

Starting with the two solid wood embroidery hoop pieces, insert one inside the other forming an “X” shape. Loosen the metal screw on the third hoop and slide it over the first two forming a line through the “X” as shown in the photo. Tighten the metal screw until the hoop is snug.

STEP FIVE

Loosen the metal screw on the fourth embroidery hoop as far as it will go, then slide it over the first three hoops horizontally around the middle. Tighten the metal screw until the hoop is snug. Apply dabs of dark brown acrylic craft paint to the metal screws, so they blend into the project.

STEP SIX

Secure the intersections of the embroidery hoops with glue, if necessary. Attach the candlestick to the bottom of the hoop orb with a glue gun and glue sticks. To complete the Embroidery Hoop Orb, glue the finial to the top of the orb.
