Custom Hula Hoops

Delaney and Tori's classes needed some hula hoops for the playground. We looked around a bit but since it's the end of summer we couldn't find any.

So we decided to MAKE them ourselves!

It takes a little bit of money for supplies, a lot of tape, and a tremendous amount of patience, but they came out great. They're more durable than ones you'd typically buy in a store and you can size them to fit. The hoops themselves ended up being about $2 each, but the decorative tape added to that amount.

Making them was simple, but the taping took time. For the first one, I taped the entire thing white first. Then I added a red stripe for the NC State look. But the kids said it looked like a candy cane.
