Halloween Hoop-Dee-Do!

Good morning friends!

Katie Gehring here to share a little home decor project I created with Neat & Tangled's Halloween Scene.

I love using embroidery hoops with my paper projects for so many reasons.  First of all, hoops are cheap and plentiful; you can pick them up at any craft store for under a dollar for the smaller sizes to a few dollars for the larger sizes.  Hoops also lend to greater flexibility in your designs because you can add dimension without worrying about your project fitting behind glass. I also think hoops add a certain charm to your projects, and it's just fun to play with circles!

I started with a 4" hoop and cut my patterned paper to fit the hoop.  I then stamped and cut out the house, ghost and bat.  The haunted hill was a piece of green cardstock that I trimmed using my circle cutters and adhered to the patterned paper background.

I stamped the tree, then adhered all the other elements using foam tape on the bat and ghost for a little more dimension. I stamped "boo" on a tiny tag and tied it to the top of the hoop with a bit of twine.  A little orange ribbon finished off the hoop.

That's all for me today!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  If you are celebrating Halloween this weekend, I hope your celebrations are safe and fun!
