DIY: Chalkboard Embroidery Hoop Signs
Hello! My name is Linda with burlap+blue, and I am honored to be here today sharing one of my latest DIY projects with you all!
Fun, stylish and functional, chalkboard embroidery hoops are perfect for saying hello, displaying a favorite quote or verse, or writing out a love note to a special someone.
Want to make one yourself? Here’s the how-to:
DIY CHALKBOARD EMBROIDERY HOOP SIGNS
***
You’ll Need:
- chalkboard fabric/vinyl
- embroidery hoops
- chalk
- scissors
Instructions:
Step One: First, you need to prime your chalkboard vinyl. You do this by taking a piece of chalk and rubbing it lengthwise across your fabric. Wipe off with a dry cloth, then a wet cloth to remove chalk residue.
Step Two: Cut out a piece of fabric slightly larger than your hoop. Unscrew hoop, place fabric in center, pull fabric taut and tighten. Chalkboard vinyl is a bit on the stiff side, so this step can be a little tricky.
And you are done! I used mine on to label treats on a dessert bar, but the possibilities are endless.
And to thank you for letting me visit with you all today, I am offering Hostess with the Mostess readers a 20% discount in my Etsy shop: burlap+blue. Just use the code “hostessblog” for 20% off your entire purchase. Offer good through next Friday, April 29th 2011.

This is such a cute idea! I’m definitely going to do this for a ranch house inspired baby shower that I’m working on! Thanks!
love this idea so inspiring. Wish you a blessed and wonderful Easter Jenna and a great weekend xo
Had I seen this 3 days ago, I’d have made these instead of photo frame chalkboard signs. This is AWESOME Jenn!
I LOVE this idea! I have had a can of chalkboard paint sitting in my cabinet for eons, and now I think I know what to do with it. So, so cute.
These are fabulous! I never knew you could make these with vinyl. Very creative and lovely!-Forever Lovely http://foreverlovelydesign.blogspot.com/
I love this idea! It would be great in a nursery or children’s bedroom, don’t you think? The obvious, of course, would be in a craft studio though!

OMG I had no idea there was such thing as Chalkboard Vinyl! That is really cool. Now I know what to do with all those embroidery hoops my my just gave me, after cleaning out her sewing room!
These are so darn cute!!! Thanks for yet another new and great idea.
A perfect treat to make for my nieces rather then bringing candy on Sunday!!!
Super cute and creative. I love them, chalkboard vinyl might be my new best friend.
Absolutely adorable and ever so creative! Love this idea!
Where do you get the chalkboard vinyl??
Amei tudo, congratulacions!!!!!
Brilliant!
What kind of chalk do you use to get that painted look? I’ve made them, and have used regular chalk – but your lettering is so bright so I feel like I’m missing something here! Thanks.
Such a great idea and so cute. However, I was wondering if you could take just a regular piece of fabric and paint with chalkboard spray paint. Would it have the same result?
I think I will experiment.
hi, just wondering what kind of chalk you are using? such a cute idea, I love it.
These are adorable! I just featured them in my chalkboard project roundup :) Have a great weekend!
