Take a metal loop and place your mandala and. First sew them on equal diagonals and then sew them around equally spreading your work on the loop.
For this project I used a Metal Hoop of diameter 7.5 inches. You can buy these metal hoops in craft store or you can even use embroidery hoops for this project!
Next step is to add tassels. You can click the link below to watch a video tutorial for making this mandala and attaching the tassels to it👇
