Faux Chalkboard Hoop Art

"This hoop art was inspired by chalkboard fabric. I didn't actually use it for this, but it's nice to know it's out there. Instead, I decided to make something that mimicked the look without the chalk. Because chalk is messy and I definitely don't have time for that this time of the year. Or any time, really. Instead, this project is made using white embroidery thread on black fabric to mimic the look without the cleanup."
