My hoop is 6\u201d in diameter, so I started by cutting a 7\u201d circle from the Our Family Houses paper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/a1.typepad.com\/6a01a3fceedc82970b01b7c784d319970b-popup\"><img class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a01a3fceedc82970b01b7c784d319970b img-responsive\" title=\"&quot;Our Family&quot; Altered Embroidery Hoop by Aly Dosdall for #echoparkpaper\" src=\"http:\/\/a1.typepad.com\/6a01a3fceedc82970b01b7c784d319970b-500wi\" alt=\"&quot;Our Family&quot; Altered Embroidery Hoop by Aly Dosdall for #echoparkpaper\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then I opened the embroidery hoop and pulled out the smaller piece. I centered it on the back side of the circle I cut, traced around it, and then created tabs by cutting small slits around the circle from the outside to the traced line about every \u00be\u201d. I placed some double sided tape around the outside of the smaller hoop and then wrapped the tabs around the edge of the hoop pressing the paper into the tape to secure it. I placed the larger hoop over the smaller one, and screwed it closed tightly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/a6.typepad.com\/6a01a3fceedc82970b01b8d10e524e970c-popup\"><img class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a01a3fceedc82970b01b8d10e524e970c img-responsive\" title=\"&quot;Our Family&quot; Altered Embroidery Hoop by Aly Dosdall for #echoparkpaper\" src=\"http:\/\/a6.typepad.com\/6a01a3fceedc82970b01b8d10e524e970c-500wi\" alt=\"&quot;Our Family&quot; Altered Embroidery Hoop by Aly Dosdall for #echoparkpaper\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I embellished my hoop with a heart patterned journaling card, some die cuts, some banner strips, washi tape, enamel dots, and some accent stickers. I love the extra dimension and flare that the designer products add. I embossed the red title strip, die cut a tag, and die cut the word \u201cforever\u201d for my title as well. I included a black and white family photo\u2014I love how the black and white color gives the photo a more ethereal feel.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, it makes me smile when I see our family photo on this project every time I pass it.
