Embroidery Hoop Map Frame


Once upon a time, I was quite the traveler. I loved visiting somewhere new and finding exciting adventures. And while I’m a little more stay at home these days, My travel lust still lingers, and as a result, I have a long and abiding love for maps! Maps, maps everywhere! These are the newest addition to my map collection, maps of my favorite places framed in simple, pretty embroidery hoops.

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: Less than 5 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Maps
Embroidery hoops
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Smooth the map out flat on a solid surface.

2. Slip the inside hoop under the map, centering it on the place you want framed on the map.
3. Place the outer hoop on top of the map over where the inner hoop is and gently press down to slip the two hoops together. Pull slightly on the edges of the map as you go to keep the paper taut.

4. Flip the map over and trim away all the excess paper at the edge of the hoops.
