I also had this idea!  I dont know if the polypro tubbing is as clear as it should be for all the glitter to sparkle and twinkle enough but perhaps using a bit of baby oil instead of water will help because its more dense and moves slowly.  And in order to make it collapsible I was think about first sealing the hoop with a silicone gun and then inserting the connectors.

Not sure it will work but I must try it someday! :)

I have been working on filled hoops.  have not worked with the glitter yet. these are my paint twins. clear flexible tubing - enough paint to coat the insides.

I hate this tubing for a full size hoop.  Yes, it collapse but it just hoops weird.  For minis it is perfect.

Those are awesome! What kind of tubing did you use? And what kind of connectors did you use? So cool!

I don't sell them - yet.  They look great at first but then the paint slow starts to pull away from the plastic.. You have to shake em up before you start for it look like this again.  I will figure it out.
