Making my first hoops. Part 2
Posted on April 19, 2010 at 8:03pm 11 Comments 0 Likes
So making your own hula hoops brings up a lot of emotions.
First I had anxiety that I was actually about to enter into such a crazy project.
Next I had excitement. I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to get started.
Excitement was then followed by confusion. How on earth was I going to have enough patience to heat up the tube with a hair dyer. Well I didn't! I ending up switching tactics and boiling some water, which I then inserted the end of the tube into. Much faster! But it has…

Making my first hoop
Posted on April 15, 2010 at 7:14pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
So I started my hoop making experience last week. I started searching on hoop city for the best hoop size (that's available in Canada) and came up with 3/4 100 psi. So I went on a search to find it in the stores. The only one around seemed to be Home Depot. After much debate I decided to fork out the $49.99 that it was going to cost. That's the price for personalized hoops I thought. for a final bill of $110 I walked out of Home Depot with the tubing, connectors and lots of coloured tapes.…

- Hey, can you link me to the facebook group you mentioned? I also know a few other new hoopers as well. We have craft nights on Wednesday, and a few of us hoop (and some knit, and other crafts).

Judy Vanhooren said… - Hi Erica
I am not teaching a hoop class in Waterford at the moment, but I am to start soon in Simcoe at the fitness centre I work at. It's hoop fitness, not hoop dance. So hopefully, the gals will love it and it will be a big hit! Thanks for asking!

thanks for the welcome
I'm in Kincardine, ON
A bit north for "southern"... but close enough.
I'm just relearning the moves I learned a few years ago.... didn't keep it up after I moved from Vancouver back to Ont. Love all the info etc. on this site, cuz I don't know of anyone that hoops in this area.
Cheers
Andrea

JennyLady said… - Hi Erica. The Festival went well. Did not sell as many hoops as I'd hope, but certainly dropped the HoopCity name - I had the logo and a lil message "for community, inspiration and tutorial videos visit..." on the backs of my price tags and on cards to hand out. I believe it was a success. Now for some Kijiji rampaging!
