27 Simple Projects To Make With Embroidery Hoop
A Halloween-themed bat mobile

Colorful mobile with yarn balls
Here’s another lovely mobile but this time with hanging yarn balls instead of bats. To make these colorful balls you need the following: cotton string in any color you prefer, school glue and small balloons. You can hang these with fishing line to make them look like they’re floating but using regular thread can also look nice. Mix and match different colors and sizes for a more dynamic look.
Spooky bat ornament for walls and shelves
Baby mobiles aren’t the only things you can make using embroidery hoops. You can also use these to make holiday decorations. For example, check out this Halloween art project from diys.
