Well, here\’s a way to show off all of those beautiful well wishes from friends and family without losing any space.

Paint the Hoop and Pins
In a well-ventilated area, (go outside if you can), place your embroidery hoop and all the clothes pins on a clean paintable surface. Spray paint them gold, making sure to turn the pins on their sides so that both sides and one face are painted. The inside of the hoop will also need a few coats to ensure even color.

Space Pins Equidistant Apart
With the hoop bolt at the 12 o\’clock position, space the clothes pins equidistant apart facing some in to the circle, and some out of the circle. In other words, you\’re going to want some of the pin heads inside to hold cards, and some out.
