    I went to make and take class at guild to make these. Lots of fun. We stapled the ends of strips cut from cheap cutting boards sold at the dollar tree to make the rings. I still have mine and use it.

    Maybe you could use canning jar lids and rings? They would fit together....

    I used a small embroidery hoop that I bought 35 years ago. I'll never use an embroidery hoop that small again. Love my little thread catcher.

    The only part of the pringle can that will be used is the metal rim, or just keep cutting rings from the can. Other thing you can used, 1 part of the embroidery hoop, the other half can also be used.

    I’ve made them before and had very good success with embroidery hoops
