Hula hoops are fun...
if you know how to hula...

For my daughter birthday party (last year),
we bought a bunch of hula hoops from the $tree, and as usual we bought more than we needed...just because.

So I needeed to figure out what to do with it
(beside hula like crazy in our backyard!).
(beside hula like crazy in our backyard!).
Since I have been working on a different room for our girls, I decided to make two canopies for their new twin beds I made.
I used
2 hula hops ($1 each)
4 sheer draperies (that I had bought for their previous room)
cord
metallic spray paint
2 white hooks (.75c for a pack of 6)
Here we go.
Spray paint the hula hoops. I had on hand a can of metallic paint, so that's what I used.
Let it dry well.
Then cut on opening and slide 2 sheer curtains before you tape it back up.
I used good ole duck tape (it blends in with the metallic paint)
Attach the cord to the hula hoop and hang from a hook on the ceiling (centered to the bed below)
The girls absolutely LOVE it.
I think it's pretty cool...
and super inexpensive.
(and could be an outdoor project too)

I really love this project!!! Too bad I don't have any girls to use it on, but I know how happy yours must be with it. So pretty and princessey!
Oh my gosh that is so creative. I never did get the hang of the hula!
Another winner! I can't wait to see their new new room! And then, your new guest room! You've got your hands full, Daniela!

LOVE! What a brilliant idea. So easy. Now, how to I easily hang this in my plaster ceilings :)
Dearest Daniela,
Your two girls have the BEST MAMA in the world! You can almost perform miracles; this is again such a genial idea of yours.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Hugs to you,

I think most little girls would feel very special sleeping inside these dainty curtains! Very clever!! Linda
Wow! I'd have died to have that when I was a little girl. I'm gonna pin this and show it to my neice for her little girls. ADORABLE!

This is an awesome idea! I will HAVE to do this for my daughter's room when she gets a bit older. I've always liked canopies like this, and I had no idea it'd be so easy to accomplish...and for that price. It looks beautiful.
XOXO,

Wow! Hula hoops! That's just so amazing!
I'm going to have to re- read and see if I can actually
Do this
Love it.
That is so clever. I love it. What a great idea to use the hoola hoop and it looks amazing. Hugs, marty
You are amazing Danni. Who would've thought? It adds that wow factor to the room. I wish I had a daughter so I could do this :)

Awesome idea! I love the lightness of the sheers you used!

Your canopies are so pretty Daniela! I can't believe how inexpensive they were to do! I'm sure your girls are thrilled.
