An embroidery hoop is great for more than just hand embroidery projects. Here is a collection of projects to make with an embroidery hoop from home decor, storage, and other useful items around the house. Keep your eye out for embroidery hoops in thrift stores and on sale racks.
I’ve made a few of these embroidery hoop projects myself and even use one of them daily. Having a large wooden hoop on hand makes for an easy front door wreath change.
Embroidery Hoop Yarn Wreath
Turn an embroidery hoop into a beautiful boho wreath with colorful yarn.
Woven Hanging Wall Art
Create a gorgeous wall hanging with embroidery hoops and yarn. Create a custom look by choosing colors and textures to match your home decor. I love the modern look that Lisa chose for hers.
Embroidery Hoop Trivets and Coasters
Pull out the center ring from an embroidery hoop (set aside the other part for another project). Begin knotting around the ring and end with a knot. These trivets and coasters would make great hostess gift.

Make your own embroidery hoop photo frames to hang your memories. I love the way these black and white photos look in the painted gray hoops.
Embroidery Hoop Pin Cushion
Can you ever have enough pin cushions? Make a custom pin cushion with tiny embroidery hoops. This is a great scrap buster project and can be made quickly. You could have one for every season.
Embroidery Hoop Hanging Storage
Free up some desk space with a hanging storage area for tools. This would make a great gift for a sewer and a good way to use up some of that scrap fabric. I think I’ll make one for myself.

Make a floral wreath with an embroidery hoop and wrap the hoop with fabric scraps to bring it all together.

Embroidery Hoop Wall Art
Use embroidery hoops in a variety of sizes to create beautiful wall decor. Add foliage and florals that match the season or style for extra glam.
Embroidery Hoop DIY Sunburst Mirror
Use the inner hoop of an embroidery hoop as one of the rings of this diy sunburst mirror. I had already used the outer hoop for another project and this hoop was the perfect size to wrap with twine and hang around a circle mirror.
Learn Hand Embroidery
One of the best uses for an embroidery hoop is hand embroidery. The relaxing and satisfying hobby can be done anywhere and can be enjoyed by all skill levels of makers.
I hope these embroidery hoop projects have inspired some creativity in you. Get making!
