Framing a project in an embroidery hoop is a wonderful way to display the piece, but figuring out how to finish the back can be tricky. Maker Team member Jenny of @olivethisfelt does a lot of handstitching and is sharing some of her solutions for finishing embroidery hoops. Enjoy this behind the scenes tutorial! You’ve just poured hours of stitching (not to mention blood, sweat and tears) into an embroidery hoop. You sit back to appreciate your hard work and suddenly realize the back is a hot mess of knots, criss-crossing threads and hidden mistakes. But never fear; all is not lost! Follow along with me for four easy options to cover up an unsightly hoop back and create a perfectly polished piece. Skill Level: Beginner Time: 10 - 30 minutes Supplies: Finished Embroidery Hoop Project(s)One 9 x 12” sheet of coordinating Wool Blend Felt (Ecru shown)One 9 x 12” sheet of coordinating Bellwether Thick Felt (Ecru shown)Embroidery Floss, coordinating or contrasting (DMC 580 and 746 shown)NeedleTacky GlueScissorsTracing PenCardstockLogo Stamp - optionalIron or Hair DryerHoop Backing Template (click to download) Directions: Option No.1 - Blanket Stitched Trim excess felt around the back of the embroidery hoop. Be sure to leave a couple of millimeters of exposed felt around the entire embroidery hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto felt with a tracing pen. Cut out and then remove pen marks with hair dryer or iron. Using one strand of DMC thread that matches the felt color (DMC 746 shown), attach circle to felt lip around hoop back with a blanket stitch. To start blanket stitch, bring needle up through the inside of the felt lip to ensure the knotted end of the thread is not exposed. Continue the blanket stitch around the entire circle, until you come back to your starting point. Knot off and trim excess thread. Option No.2 - Whip Stitched Trim excess felt around the back of the embroidery hoop. Be sure to leave a couple of millimeters of exposed felt around the entire embroidery hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto felt with frixion pen. Cut out and then remove frixion marks with hair dryer or iron. Using two strands of DMC thread, attach circle to felt lip around the hoop with a whip stitch. To start whip stitch, bring needle up through the inside of the felt lip to ensure the knotted end of the thread is not exposed. For this example, I chose to use a color thread that coordinated with the image on the front and contrasted with the backing felt (DMC 580 shown.) Continue whip stitch around the entire circle, until you come back to your starting point. Knot off and trim excess thread. Option No.3 - Bellwether Thick Felt Trim excess felt on the back, cutting as close to embroidery hoop as possible. You want to try to keep it flush with the hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto Bellwether thick felt with frixion pen. Cut out and then remove frixion marks with hair dryer or iron. Squeeze a ring of Aleene’s Tacky Glue around the outside edge of the hoop back and felt circle. Flip felt circle glue side down and position over embroidery hoop back. Press down around entire hoop perimeter. You can choose to clamp with clothes pins for extra security while it dries. Option No.4 - Card Stock Trim excess felt on back, cutting as close to embroidery hoop as possible. You want to try to keep it flush with the hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto your card stock. I chose a color that matched the felt (Ecru wool blend) I was working with. However, If you want to add a little pizzazz to your hoop, you can choose a colorful or patterned card stock. As an optional step, you can embellish your card stock backing with a logo stamp, a sticker, or a personalized note. Squeeze a ring of Aleene’s Tacky Glue around the outside edge of the hoop back and around the back of the card stock. Flip card stock glue side down and position over embroidery hoop back. Press down around entire hoop perimeter. You can choose to clamp with clothes pins for extra security while it dries. Now you have a backed hoop that is equally flawless on both sides. For future projects, feel free to play around with different looks by changing felt or thread colors. You can also add a personal touch to your hoop with a custom logo or artist signature. The hoop backing possibilities are endless now that you’ve learned these four basic options. Have fun with it! Thanks to Jenny for designing and writing this tutorial!

Hier krabbelt gerade so einiges: Unmengen an Krümeln auf dem Dielenboden, Kinder auf dem Sofa – und immer mindestens einer an mir dran. Bevor es zu kribbelig wird, schnapp ich mir meine kleine Krabbelbande und bastele mit ihnen diese hübsche Käferparade, die sich Milena von Hellrosagrau ausgedacht hat… Das Schöne: Die Käfer lassen sich aus Papierresten, alten Tapeten, Zeitungspapier oder bemaltem Druckerpapier dank Milenas Vorlage ganz leicht basteln – und die Kinder können dennoch kreativ sein und jeden Käfer anders gestalten. Besonders hübsch wird es, wenn man einige Flügel aus leicht durchsichtigem Papier schneidet. Wer weiß, vielleicht entsteht ja ein ganzes Käfer-Museum. Und vielleicht fallen euch gemeinsam sogar Namen für die Tiere ein… So geht’s: 1. Die Druckvorlage ausdrucken und alle Schablonen ausschneiden. 2. Mithilfe der Schablone die einzelnen Käferteile auf Papier vorzeichnen und ausschneiden. 3. Tipp: Zuerst die Fühler auf

November is coming to an end, so it's time for a lil freebie to make this month a bit more exciting ^^. This time it's the Grace embroidery design that you might already be familiar with from my previous posts. I'm excited to share not only the pattern and stitches I used but also a bit of guidance and tips. Hopefully, it will make the stitching process easier for you! This design features 3 key elements: Rope-looking lines and outlines for the leaves Filling of the leaves Lettering Lines All of the lines are worked in stem stitch. You can see some additional tips on stem stitch in the following posts: Changing direction of stem stitch and the 6 faces of stem stitch. Long story short, as you are stem stitching, keep bringing your needle up to the left of your stitches. This will help you achieve the “rope” appearance of your stem stitch. Given that the direction of lines keeps changing throughout the whole pattern, be careful to not mix up the sides of where the needle should come up. If you are confused, rotate the hoop or embroidery frame so that the line faces upwards and make sure the needle comes up to the left of the line. When I stitched I worked the outline in portions. Let's say I completed 25% of outline first, then filled in some of the leaves, then worked the next 25% of outline and so forth. It helped me to keep a steady path. But, of course, it might be more convenient for you to work it in another way. Maybe you'd like to complete all of the outlines first and only then fill in the leaves. It's completely fine! Decide for yourself the order of working this embroidery pattern and work it in the way that makes you comfortable! I used two strands of floss for the box around the word GRACE, and one strand of floss for the rest of the lines. It made the plant motif look finer and helped the box to stand out. Leaves All of the leaves are filled with the fishbone stitch after the outline is already complete. The leaves are not always conveniently “straight” and with even edges. Their form changes here and there and sometimes they are not complete or cross with other leaves. So, yes, although the fishbone stitch itself is quite easy to pick up on, this design might still present a challenge. As a result, it will be an excellent practice of fishbone stitch for you ;) The order of working the leaves can be whatever you want. Just like with outlining I did it in portions, but it is possible to fill all the leaves with one shade of floss first, and then another and so on. I used two strands of floss when I embroidered the leaves in this pattern. Also, in some places leaves “fold”. These small areas are worked by satin stitch using one strand of floss in the needle. I didn't do any padding here. Just stitched the outline the same way as the areas of the plant motif and covered the “foldings” with parallel satin stitches. Lettering I used an easy and quick approach to lettering for this design. Take two strands of floss and outline a letter in back stitch first. Then “wrap” the letters in satin stitch. Because the letters are not that big and we use two strands of floss, there is no need for any padding. The letters look dimensional enough and pop out of the fabric surface. That's pretty much it. In case you have any questions left, you're always welcome to leave them in the comments below or send me a DM through the contact form :) DOWNLOAD THE FREE PATTERN HERE Have a nice stitching!

A few weeks ago I had the idea to incorporate sports into a vocabulary review. Many of my students play basketball on a team and/or play at recess, so I incorporated basketball into our review. My son received this over the door basketball set for Christmas so we brought it to school one day. He told me to "make sure they don't break it, but you CAN show them how to dunk it." Although I didn't share my dunking skills, my fifth graders LOVED this! I knew they'd notice the goal as soon as they walked in so I wrote a little message beside the board: "Are you ready for vocabulary basketball?" It was a fun way to review vocabulary in an engaging way. We split into two teams. I had the vocabulary words written on the board and I'd call out definitions. If they told me the correct word, they earned 1 point for their team. Then, they could earn 2 points or 3 points by making a basket. I had ribbon on the floor to show what would count as 2 points vs. 3 points. They had a BLAST! Most of our vocabulary words come from our read alouds, but most of the words in this unit were student generated. I kept a sheet of paper that students could add words to as they read independently. If they found a word they didn't know or one that they thought would be a good vocabulary word, they could write it down. Vocabulary review - basketball style - was a HIT!
