St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Hoop Decoration

Hey y’all!

I don’t know about you guys, but I am so glad that it is almost Spring!  For me, St. Patrick’s Day is the time of year when it is time to bring out all of the fun colors and brighten up our little piece of the world.  Today I am going to show you how to make this festive embroidery hoop rainbow decoration that is sure to bring a little happiness your way!

Supplies needed to make your own embroidery hoop rainbow:

• Crepe Paper Rolls in Rainbow Colors
• 12″  Round Embroidery Hoop
• Glue Runner
• Natural Jute String

Step One.  The first thing you will need to do is measure how long you want your rainbow to be.  Once you decide, cut that length plus 4 inches of each color.  I ended up using about 3, four foot lengths of each color.  Next, you will apply glue to one end and fold it over the hoop and press down on top of the other side of the streamer.

Step Two.  Now you will cut four lengths of jute string.  The length to cut will be determined by how you will hang it.  Simply tie one end to the embroidery hoop, as shown below. Repeat with the remaining three pieces of string and be sure to space them equally around the circle.Step Three.  The final step is to hang your rainbow from a tree, the ceiling, or wherever you plan on enjoying it for the holiday!  Simply gather each string, bring together so that the hoop is level and tie it up!

Now, I just had to include a little surprise at the bottom… after all, every good rainbow has a pot of gold at end, right?!  Have fun with it!
