Help! how should I?

[ellie_may12]

I have a king-sized mosquito net that I used to hang over my bed, but DH doesn't want around OUR bed. It is one of those that has the 4 corners to hang it. I want to use the fabric to make one of the round ones that you hang over a bed for the nursery. I have an 18" wood hoop, but just don't know how to connect the fabric to the hoop? Should I sew it? hot glue? What?

TIA!

I read directions to make one of these and they suggested using a quilting hoop, putting the fabric betweeen the hoop layers and then you cover the exposed hoop with ribbon or fake flowers or whatever with hot glue to hold it on. Or you can attach the hoop to the small ring that you will hang it with by tying it with at least 4 (though I might use at least 8) strings about 18 inches long (not sure there) then you can put the fabric over all that and the hoop will just hold the fabric out without having to be attached. If that makes sense.

Good luck, I'm sure it will be a lovely project.

Well....DUH!!! I never thought of using BOTH hoops! I just figured that I would use the one.

Using both makes perfect sense! Thanks!!!!
