Nearly every time I pull out my 3-inch embroidery hoop, I slip it around my wrist. Actually, I do this with almost all of my hoops as a way to carry them alongside all my other supplies. But with this small hoop, I always think about how much I wish I could wear it as a bracelet.
Sadly, it's just a bit too big. It also hangs with the screw part down because of its weight. And I'm quite sure that I'll end up getting caught on things.
But that doesn't stop me from wanting a bracelet that looks like an embroidery hoop. It doesn't have to be functional, but I want it to be immediately recognizable. So I'm putting this out there.
If you know of where I can find something like this, or if you know someone who I could talk with about making one, or if you are someone who wants to figure it out...let's talk!
If you think I'm crazy, and that this just won't be possible, please don't dash all my dreams of an embroidery hoop bracelet.
Hi Mollie
ReplyDeleteHave you tried @dandelyne on Instagram? I know she makes teeny tiny hoops for necklaces!
Great idea I hope you find a supplier!
She's an option! I'm also going to talk with someone I know who does laser cutting. I just think it would be so fun to have a bracelet like this!
DeleteThere are vintage hoops with no screws that were used for fine fabrics like silk. I do t know about sizing though.
ReplyDeleteThat would be perfect! But you're right...the sizing could be an issue.
DeleteI have a couple of those silk hoops, but mine are 4in rather than 3.
DeleteOn Etsy I have seen some little hoops. Here is the link not sure if you could make this work or not. I think this is a great idea I hope you find what you are looking for. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BusyLittleBird?ref=l2-shopheader-name
ReplyDeleteI hope you can make this work and decide to sell them because I would definitely buy one.
ReplyDeleteI carry my hoops like that too. I hope you find a way to make this happen, and please share with us if you do! I would love to have a hoop bracelet. Or maybe a ring? So many cute possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI feel like you would be able to take the metal piece off and attach it to a wooden bangle bracelet. I don't know if you wanted the hoop to be functional or just as a bracelet though. :)
ReplyDeletewow amazing idea to start with ! sadly I can't help you because I haven't seen anything like this before. Hope you find it xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes....why don't you just take the screw part off and cover the slit with some awesome fabric and glue. Oh...and get a wee bit smaller one to fit your wrist and not fall off!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love it. I know I would want one. You'd have to leave the screw and metal bit though otherwise it wouldn't look like an embroidery hoop! You do have charms on bracelets anyway and they sometimes get caught in things!
ReplyDeleteAhahaaha! What a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI would totally buy one of these if someone makes them! Such a cute idea!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely In! I wear mine around too!
