Hula Hoop Rug

For the HomeAndrea Coyle

This easy and fun hula hoop rug is perfect for a family craft day, a party, or a relaxing afternoon! My sister Kira put together an amazing arts, crafts, and taco event as part of our wedding weekend. This hula hoop project was just one of many that were included at the party. All you need is a hula hoop and strips of fabric approximately 2 inches wide. To set up your hula hoop loom, tie one end of a strip of fabric to the hula hoop and tie the other end to the other side of the hula hoop. Continue around the hoop so that you create a spoke like loom as pictured in the final picture of this post. Now you are ready to weave! Weave strips of fabric in and out starting from the center! This part was incredibly easy and everyone was able to participate! Don't forget to tie the ends off when you remove your finished rug. Our completed rug is a perfect reminder of a fun event from our wedding weekend. We keep it at the entrance of our spare bedroom for all to see.
