Cotton mop heads (3-5, depending on the size of the embroidery hoops)

Remove the cotton strands from the mop heads by cutting them free from their base.

Take an embroidery hoop and start tying the cotton strands around it. You can double-knot them for extra security.

Continue tying the strands around the hoop until you achieve the desired fullness. For a layered effect, use hoops of different sizes and overlap them slightly when arranging on the wall.

If desired, use a hot glue gun to secure the strands in place, ensuring they don't slip.

Trim the ends of the cotton strands to create a uniform look or leave them varied for a more organic feel.

Arrange the completed hoops on your wall, experimenting with different layouts and configurations until you're satisfied with the look.

For a different look, consider dyeing the cotton strands before attaching them to the hoops. You can use fabric dye to create ombre effects or bold colors that match your decor. Additionally, mix in other materials like jute or wool yarn to add more texture and color variation. To enhance the boho vibe, incorporate beads or feathers tied to some of the strands. Adjusting the size of the hoops and the density of the strands can also help you tailor the art to fit different spaces.
