The perfect Back to School craft for the kiddos!
Even better, Teacher Appreciation Gifts!
Super easy and adorable DIY Apple Hoop Art.
Apple Hoop Art | Back to School Craft
Supplies needed for Apple Hoop Art:
Embroidery Hoops (I used 3″ hoops)
Red Fabric
Green Felt
Scissors
Ivory Embroidery Floss, optional
Embroidery Needle, optional
Tacky Glue or Glue Gun
You can pull these cuties together in about 15 minutes and in 4-easy steps. Let’s get started!
Cut Fabric to Fit Hoop.
Trim the fabric or glue access fabric to the inside on back of hoop.
Cut out leaves from green felt.
Attach leaves to your apple hoop with glue.
Technically, you’re done! However, you might consider adding a little extra cuteness! Stitch a fold line in the leaf. This is my personal favorite. For mine, I cut out two leaves, stitched on one of them, then glued them together to hide the thread on the backside (the perfectionism in me won).
You might add hemp twine or string for hanging too.

These are adorable…my daughter will be going back to teaching the 1st of October after her maternity leave. I am making one for her…to put a smile on her face (instead of tears of leaving her newborn in childcare!) 🙂

Thanks so much! I’m sure that your daughter will love this and appreciate it. I’m sure that will make going back to work a little easier. 🙂 Have a great evening. xo.
