DIY Fleece Atom Swing

I made these by cutting up a fleece blanket in 1inch thick strips and tying them tightly all around the hoops.

Wow! That's really good. They sell them in the shops and these ones are just as good, if not better. Well done!

Fabulous idea! Did you buy the hoops and just jazz it up with the fleece or did you make the hoops yourself?

I bought cheap embroidery hoops from a craft store, then cut 5inch x 1inch fleece strips and tightly wrapped them around!
