I've been seeing these hula hoop wreaths pop up on Pinterest, and it inspired me to make my own! I've been out of school for less than 2 weeks now and haven't fully hit summer mode, but I was so excited to try this I went for it! I like to have a photo backdrop or prop for the beginning of the year, and I realized this wreath will be the cutest prop. Here's how I did it:
Materials:
hula hoop spray paint balloons cardstock and/or vinyl tape
First, I painted the hula hoop. I used this paint, because I had it and I loved the color, but it doesn't stick as well as I'd like. I'd use this paint formulated for plastic next time. I did several light coats, being careful to get the sides. I didn't paint the back.
Next I blew up the balloons and added them. They are regular sized balloons from the dollar store but I only blew them up a little. I was able to find navy and royal blue in packs, then I got a variety pack to get the turquoise, silver and green. I used regular scotch tape to attach them to the hula hoop, making sure I had really small balloons at each end.
Finally I made and added the signs. I cut the dates from Oracal 631 vinyl and mounted it on cardstock, but you could use paper too.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! If you make one for your own classroom I'd love to see it!
