Nostalgic Christmas Jumper Embroidery Hoops
YOU WILL NEED
✹ Old Christmas jumper
✹ Embroidery hoops
✹ Glue gun and glue
✹ Scissors
STEP 1
Place the inner ring of the embroidery hoop in the centre of your chosen motif on the jumper and mark a circular cutting line at least two centimetres larger than the hoop. Cut out the motif along this line.
STEP 2
Place your circle of jumper centrally over the inner ring. Place the open outer ring on top and tighten the tension screw. When the motif is in your desired position, attach the excess to the inside of the frame with hot glue.
