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

DIY Chalkboard Embroidery Hoop Signs


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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
