wanted: embroidery hoop bracelet

Embroidery Hoop Bracelet

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.

  1. Hi Mollie
    Have you tried @dandelyne on Instagram? I know she makes teeny tiny hoops for necklaces!
    Great idea I hope you find a supplier!

    1. 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!

  2. There are vintage hoops with no screws that were used for fine fabrics like silk. I do t know about sizing though.

    1. That would be perfect! But you're right...the sizing could be an issue.

    2. I have a couple of those silk hoops, but mine are 4in rather than 3.

  3. On 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

  5. I 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!

  6. I 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. :)

  8. Yes....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!:)

  9. Great 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!
