Homemade LED Hoop

So I took the time to make my own LED hoop by using a combination of awesome tutorials. It took me 4 days total! In the end, it was well worth the effort. The hoop is a LOT heavier than any of my other hoops (4 rechargeable AAA batteries will do that), but I'm very proud of it.

And of course it give me something to play with in the dark!

I'm happy with it, but will still probably end up purchasing a translucent LED hoop for the blur effect. Also, long exposure shots are fun!

My First hoop

My first hoop was homemade! My new roommate Aleena and I went to Home Depot for supplies. She taught me how to make it. We made 4 hoops total out of all the piping we bought. I took the time to exacto knife flames for my orange hoop. It took a while but it looks great! I know its going to be busted up soon, so I took a few photos while it's still pretty.

I loved hula hooping as a kid, and lately my friend Michelle has been sharing all her hoop stories with my friends and me. When I found out my new roommate hooped and I could have a hoop buddy, I decided to finally give it a go on my own.

Wee!
