ABSTRACT:
A craft hoop assembly for securing material on which a craft is to be performed comprises an inner hoop or ring having an outer surface and a split outer hoop or ring having an inner surface which is positionable in circumscribing alignment with the inner ring such that the inner surface of the outer ring generally abuts against the outer surface of the inner ring. An elastic band or o-ring positioned within a groove formed in and extending circumferentially or in circumscribing alignment with the outer surface of the inner ring. A portion of the elastic band, in the form of a loop, is extended through a hole in the ring along the groove. A pin is inserted in the loop to prevent the loop from retracting back through the hole which secures the elastic band to the ring. Material to be secured between the rings is positioned over the inner ring and the outer ring is then positioned over the inner ring. A clamp on the outer ring is then adjusted to reduce the diameter of the outer ring to generally compress the material on which the craft is to be performed between the inner and outer rings and in particular, to compress the material between the elastic band and the inner surface of the outer ring.
