Been hoopin in the yard with the kids for an hour. They need better hoops. Point me to instructions please?

To that I say, “No problem mon.”

Cause hoop making is the SHIZ, especially when you are doing it for funzies with your kids or something. So empowering and crafty, a total gas.

Except when its not.

Hoop making is NOT the Shiz when you spend out hours taping the most perfect hoop, only to get the hassle on the price. My hoop crush Philo gets real about it, so if you are wanting to vend hoops, read his work first.

But back to Mean Kathleen. Cause I am happy to give her the same set of directions I sleuthed up, with a few local Houston tips, so here ya go.

1) head over to Hooping.org to learn how to make a hoop.

2) buy some gaff tape at Stage light except they call it gaff tape, or alternately get some hockey stick handle grip tape from somewhere.

3) When you are the master of gaff tape, buy some fancy tape from Identitape.

And away you go. Use 1/2 inch tubing for kids, and when the hoop is standing in front of you, it should measure between your belly button and your chest, closer to your chest if you are more voluptuous or talent free, or both (like me!)

Go to it kids.
