1. Trace a circle and inch or two larger than the hoop. Edge finish the circle of fabric (even a zig zag would do).
2. Place fabric in the hoop, pull taught.

Another suggestion for a neater back is to trace a circle and inch or two larger than the hoop. Edge finish the circle of fabric (even a zig zag would do).

You could even paint the hoop if you didn't like the light wood color.
