Step 2Measure and Cut Tube
Decide how large a hoop you want. It should be somewhere between waist and shoulder height. The ones I've made are about as tall as my natural waist when i stand them on end.
Mark the spot to cut, and then use a hack saw or PVC cutter to make the cut. PVC cutters make a nice clean cut, but I didn't have one on hand, so I used the hack saw method.
If you want a standard non-collapsible hoop, then you're done cutting and can go on to the next step. To get a collapsible hoop, cut the length of tube in half using the hack saw.
You can see in the picture that the hack saw left a mess of burrs around the inside and outside of the tube. Use a utility blade to clean those up and smooth the cut ends before going on to the next step.
