So some of these have been seen already, but not once totally finished.
The poop emoji stitch was put into a wooden hoop that I painted myself. Yep, looked for something that resembled "poop brown." She loved it!
This is a frame from IKEA that fortunately was the perfect size and included a mat. If I'd been thinking ahead, I might have looked for a mat in pink, but....nah....
This was my favorite. I went looking at IKEA for frames, but didn't really see any the perfect size. Well, I take that back. I found one with a silver frame and white mat, but I wasn't sure how that would be with the oatmeal fabric. So instead I decided to do the painted hoop finish. And I'm really happy with how it turned out!
I looked up how best to frame in a hoop and found this website. (Used it for the poop emoji, too, but didn't have time/inclination to get felt for the back.) I was skeptical that the felt would do much, because the fabric was sticking out a fair bit once gathered. But I was impressed with how much it compressed the bulk without really any effort. This went over very well, and I'm already planning to use it again.
