1. Preparing the Hula Hoops
Start by laying down six 21-inch hula hoops on some butcher block paper.
Each hoop will be spray painted black.
Apply several coats to ensure all areas are well covered. Since these hula hoops are often covered in decorative tape, it may require a little extra paint to cover the pattern, but it will work out great.
2. Assembling the Base
Next, you'll join four hoops to the first hoop, attaching evenly on all four sides.
Attach the first hoop loosely with a black zip tie.
Three more hula hoops will be attached to the first hula hoop, creating an even pattern of five.
3. Creating the Structure
A sixth hula hoop will be placed on top of an exterior hula hoop.
It will be attached with a zip tie on its left side only.
Each hula hoop on each side will be positioned vertically.
Then they will be attached to the top hoop to create a cube shape.
Trim the ends of each zip tie with scissors to clean up the look.
4. Adding the Twine
Attach some lightweight twine to one side of the top hula hoop with double knots.
Leaving the roll intact, string the twine across the top hula hoop in random places to create a spiderweb effect.
Wrap the twine twice around the hoop with each stop for added strength. Keeping the twine as tight as possible is key.
End off by leaving lots of extra twine before cutting it off the roll, then knot and trim the ends.
5. Positioning the Wood Round
Finally, position the wood round onto the twine.
