Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Attach the LED strip lights to the hula hoop
Using your wire cutters, cut the LED strip light to the length of your hula hoop. Be sure to follow the instructions packaged with the LED strip light carefully to ensure a safe and effective connection. Attach the LED strip lights evenly around the hula hoop using clear tape or hot glue.
Step 2: Build the frame of your chandelier
Take your skewers or long sticks and attach them across the center of the hula hoop. Make sure the sticks rest on the hoop to create a sturdy base. Then, take your plywood and using the drill, make a hole in the center. Pass the hula hoop through the hole and attach it to the underside of the plywood using screws.

If desired, sand the plywood for a smooth finish. Paint your frame with your preferred color and let it dry.
