This DIY orb pumpkin is another great re-purposed home decor project using …embroidery hoops.  I know it sounds crazy but I find old embroidery hoops at about 1 out of every 5 garage sales I go to and have no doubt…I snag them up! This past weekend I was looking through my crafting supplies for some fall decor ideas. I ran across some oval hoops I had bought last summer and wondered if they would work for orb pumpkins.

These unique wooden embroidery hoop orbs are the perfect fall decor! These pumpkins are full of personality and great for Thanksgiving decorating on budget!

By now you have all seen my post on “How to make decorative orbs out of embroidery hoops” and this pumpkin project shares the same basic concept. I made them out of orange painted round and oval hoops to create a unique pumpkin!

Fall Decor Pumpkin Orb Supplies:

  • Rustoleum Fire Orange Spray Paint
  • Rustoleum Cinnamon Spray Paint
  • Embroidery Hoops – you will need 2 matching sets for each pumpkin
  • Baling wire or other heavy gauged wire
  • Wire Cutters
  • Scissors
  • Burlap or Ribbon (I love this green)
  • Upholstery tack or thumb tack to hold intersection in place

Fall Decor Pumpkin Orb Instructions:

1) Separate your 2 matching sets of embroidery hoops into 4 individual pieces. You will have 2 larger hoops which have the adjustment clasp and 2 smaller hoops which are solid.

2)  Spray paint them in one of the spray paint colors. Make sure that you get all sides of the hoops because you will see all sides.  Let dry.

3)  Next, place one of the small hoops inside the other small hoop.

4)  Take one of the larger hoops and slide it over the smaller set.

5)  Now take the other larger hoop and slide it over the other 3. (You will probably have loosen the clasp of the last one to make it fit over the other ones)

6)  Push a thumbtack or upholstery tack in the bottom of the pumpkin where the 4 sections meet.

7)  Attach baling wire to the top to hold the hoops together and to add some little curly-q’s.

8)  Add some burlap for the stem.  I also used the burlap to cover where the baling wire intersected the embroidery hoops.

Voila! A unique pumpkin home fall decor project you made yourself using old embroidery hoops…It’s called Repurposing and it feels good doesn’t it?
