I was hanging out with a good friend last night and she had a whole stack of homemade hula hoops... the girls were having a ball showing off, goofing off, and playing together. There were even a couple of adult size hoops so we all got in on the action. I was thinking that making hula hoops would be a fun and different gift to make for people for the holidays (or any occasion really). It could even be decorated by using double pointed needles to knit a colorful cover for the poly tubing. You can find instructions on how to make your own here.
A place for my crafty side: knitting, crocheting, basket weaving, and anything else that I find worth a knit.

What a novel idea! I used to hula hoop all the time as a kid, and somewhere along the lines the talent seems to have... disappeared. I imagine it's because I've not been using an adult sized hoop!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to hula hoops size really does matter...hehe
ReplyDeleteI think it is also the weight and quality of the materials that helps when you have a homemade one.
Thanks for stopping by!
