Tools and Materials

- Spray paint
- 2 wood planks
- Saw
- Sandpaper
- Wood stain
- Drill
- Wooden dowels
Okay, you will not believe what I made using some dollar store 24" hula hoops. Check it out!
First I started by spray painting my two hula hoops with Rustoleum Oil Brushed Bronze.
Then let it dry.
I then cut my 2 wood shelves. I came up with 23” that was to the edge of my hula hoops.
Then I sanded them down.
Then I stained the wood on all sides.
I then drilled some pilot holes through the hoop and into the wood.
I used a box to level between shelves and drilled in the second shelf.
Resting it like this made drilling the shelves in easier to do!
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.
And that's it, it's done and ready to be used!
Here it is on my bathroom vanity I think it turned out super cute! What do you think? The whole shelf only cost me $10! See more great items at Gilbert Marketplace
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!

Have a question about this project?
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.🙂
Are you single?
To cute 😊 and both single.. keep us posted if you two end up dating , oh and I love this project, super awesome 👏
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?
No problems so far and this was last years post
