Add Dowels

After the shelves were in place, I added two wooden dowels to the base to make sure it wouldn't rock. If you have any mistakes, just use some electric tape and spray paint to cover any errors.

I'm thinking of big hula hoops I had as a kid, and can't imagine it fitting on a bathroom vanity??

  They used 24 inch ones which are smaller than those big ones we used as a kid.🙂

Came out nice only problem I see these hula hoops are super flimsy and not not hold together well, is another piece missing to make them sturdy for the weight of the wood?

I originally seen this project on White Sparrow Living YouTube channel. Theirs was sturdier and able to be hung on a wall. They look a lot better when you remove the foil paper from them before painting as well. If any other crafters like to see high end Dollar Tree projects you should check them out. This is a good idea for free standing shelves though. Others have done this here on Hometalk as well.

  That may be but we are respectfully on Shelly’s post now and I think it’s super cute and would look great somewhere in my living room!

Not much room on most vanity countertops, but I can see it hung on wall over toilet maybe. Great reuse of hula hoop!
