Patriotic Hoop Art with Ribbon

Are you ready for 4th of July? Grab a couple embroidery hoops and your scrap ribbons and whip up this CUTE 4th of July decor with the stars and stripes. If you have ribbons patterned with stars and stripes, that's great but if you don't, just gather the red, white, and blue ribbons from your stash to make this easy hoop art. You can hang these on the wall, hook them together to dangle from your front door like a wreath or lean them on the mantle. Easy peasy, right?!

Hoop art is really big right now and if you don't embroider, you can always get in on the trend by using hoops without stitching. This hoop based craft is super simple and anyone, any age can make it. You can use hot glue like I did to make permanent decor or use a temporary adhesive so you can change out the ribbons with your decor or seasonally.

Aren't these cute? Display them hanging on a wall, sitting on an easel, or hanging from ribbon on your front door like I did.
