I hinted at these lovely hoops a couple weeks ago in this Mid-Make post. I absolutely love how they turned out. I am happy and honored to be presenting them as a guest-poster on Creature Comforts today. I’m sure you are all familiar with Ez’s Blog, which is a huge inspiration to me. If not, get ready to be completely taken by her loveliness. These hoops are a Finish Fifty project also! yee-haw!
Two weeks ago, Ez moved across the country from Oklahoma to California. Given my recent uprooting, I am espeically sympathetic to the insanity she’s going through right now. The empathy I have for her makes this guest post all the more meaningful to me, in hopes that I am relieving her moving burden in some small way.
I originally made a neon green version of these hoops for an 80s Halloween party–perfect under the black lights! When I went hunting for a little neon-y bling, all I found was a hank of neon embroidery floss I had just purchased, and the idea of the hoops were born. I made them in the car on the way to the party–nothing like a little crafting on the go. They were fabulous, but, of course, I wanted to do a tutorial for you all. So, the hoops ended up on my list to finish back in October. Well, finally, here they are.
They are so customizeable and easy to make, you’ll soon have a pair for every outfit!
Pop on over to Creature Comforts and give them a whirl!

These are really cute. I like how hoop earring look, but am not fond of the plain metal ones as they remind me of some of the less savoury girls from high school! These will definitely make their way into my summer wardrobe, thanks. (I also linked to them from http://morethanfrank.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/you-shoot-me-down.html, just so you know.)
The idea of finish fifty is such a good one too! I have so many unfinished craft and alteration projects…

Terrific idea! I like the fact that these are quick, easy, and use easily-found embroidery thread. Also, that they can be made and re-made in other colors.

Very nice, love simplicity, the shiny is great. Wonderful jewelry idea. Seems like they’d be fairly inexpensive to make, think two teenage grand daughters would love these. Next time I’m in craft store I’ll be looking out for the supplies. Great post
. Glad you had a good break, you deserve it. Sometimes other things like your family, friends deserve to come first before your blog.

How do I make these? I tried looking through the links but couldn’t find any information! Thanks!

Hi Lauren! It turns out Ez’s blog Creature Comforts is no longer. It’s very sad as she had so much amazing content. She had a bad hacking experience and lost most of her content! Given that, I will re-post this tutorial soon if I can find all the details! Thanks for letting me know that the links don’t work!
