Step
1

Separate the inner and outer pieces of a small embroidery hoop and place on a clean work surface that you don't mind getting dirty. A broken down Oriental Trading shipping box works perfectly! Lie the hoops on top of your surface and use a clean, disposable cloth to apply a light stain to each piece. You could also spray paint them for an all-over opaque look if you would like.

Once the hoops have fully dried, begin wrapping the center portion of the inner embroidery hoop piece with 3mm natural cording. I wrapped the cording around each of the inner hoops 12 times. Add a dab of hot glue at both the starting and ending pieces of cording to secure it to the hoop.

Next, wrap two different colors of yarn that coordinate with your theme on either side of the cording to be just under 1" wide each. Again, securing the top and bottom pieces of yarn using hot glue.

Now wrap a third color of yarn directly over the natural cording in the center, about 1" wide and secure the ends with hot glue.

Remove a section of leaves from a pink azalea floral garland and place them in the center of the hoop. Use a few dabs of hot glue to keep them in place.

Finally, separate roses from a blush pink kissing ball and then adhere them to the hoop directly on top of the azalea leaves using hot glue. Add another dab of hot glue to the yarn in the center of each embroidery hoop to attach each initial.
