How To Make A Hula Hoop From Cardboard Boxes (At No To Little Cost)

[@rachdolph]

I work for a company that designs and manufactures corrugated boxes and displays so I love this idea. The one thing I would recommend is when you're putting all the layers together, make sure the flute lines on each sheet of cardboard are not all going the same direction. If the flute lines in each layer are different directions, this will make the hoop a lot more stable and sturdy.

[@hoopsmiles]

Did not know that. You sound like a master of cardboard. Thanks for the suggestion!

Passing this on for all the quarantined kiddos ❤️ Thanks!!

Awesome, great activity to do inside and a way to put the empty package boxes to use

This is really amazing. Cardboard! I needed this a couple of years ago when I was after an adult hoop! I found one in the end. This was better than the one I made from floppy tube! Great craft project for the kids too.

[@piink8259]

Does it hurt since it’s cardboard?

[@lorrainemoynehan6791]

brilliant idea. Genius could you also maybe give the measurements in metric as a little nod to the rest of the world? thanks in advance

[@hoopsmiles]

Thanks for the compliment. Well not for this video, since it's already posted, but I would think about that for future videos in this realm. Suprisingly my largest audience for this video is not the US, but other countries.

[@hoopsmiles]

Hey thank you so much! Yeah this turned out to be a successful experiment

[@stephaniechikelu1900]

Hello hoopsmiles, i recently got interested in hula hooping and i decided to make and one i did make 😂. Though my problem is that it sends bendy? Mine has 4 layers of thick cardboard. I wonder if it's supposed to be like this. I just tried hula hooping for 10 secs and my hips are crying already😅

[@hoopsmiles]

lol. Yeah, sounds like i had a similar experience, but the more layers I added, the less bendy it appeared to be.

[@stephaniechikelu1900]

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't know where else to find a cardboard so i think i'll just make a pvc pipe hula hoop. That seems to be a much better option and will definitely last longer. Also i love your rap songs. I play it whenever i try to hula hooping 😂 ❤. Thanks hoopsmiles 😊

[@lolli84lolli20]

THIS is the best idea ever! Thank you so much! So we only need to figure it out which size we need and can save much money and are great at recycling. 😅 Would you say, it is possible to make it a weighted hula hoop or just add more layers for more weight? (I am a Plus Size Girl, I am not sure how much layers I will need for a stable hula hoop) 😅

[@hoopsmiles]

you could potentially make it weighted, if you add more cardboard or small weights or small heavy objects to it. Though I wouldn't recommend going too heavy for safety reasons.

[@lolli84lolli20]

Thank you very much 😊

[@soulsurfer5531]

Ty. Just shared on Twitter. I have a gigantic heavy cardboard box they’d be perfect for this. Happy hooping everyone! 🙂

[@hoopsmiles]

Awesome! I hope it turned out nice!

[@fatimahbranch5568]

Hello hoopsmiles just wanted to know if you make weighted hoops. If so can you do a tutorial

[@hoopsmiles]

I have made a weighted hoop. I'll consider making a tutorial on how to make weighted hoops. They are not that hard to make.

How to make this ring with plastic bottle

[@hoopsmiles]

I'm working on it or at least thinking how it is possible. One problem is that plastic bottles are very light, but I believe there is a way.
