10m of thick red cord

Method
1
Separate the two circles of
the embroidery hoop. If using
paint, paint the outer circle
and set aside to dry.
2
Wind cord tightly around inner
circle of embroidery hoop until it
is entirely covered. Secure with
a knot. Once the outer circle is
dry, slot it over the inner circle
and tighten.
3
To form a bow, wrap the fabric
length around your palm
a few times until, when you
remove it, it forms a solid
rectangle. Cut off any remaining
length. Using needle and
thread, secure in the centre
with a small stitch.
4
Wrap a short piece of
fabric around centre of the
rectangle to form a bow.
Secure with a small stitch.
6
Cut two long pieces from
leftover fabric to form the bottom
ribbons, cutting indents in the
base of each. Secure to the back
of the bow with a small stitch.
7
Sew completed bow onto
bottom of the hoop, stitching
through the back of the bow
and around the hoop.
