Materials:
Wire
Colored Tape
String (to hang)
Fancy Ribbon (optional)
Ornament Spinner (optional)

Tools:
Wire cutter

To Begin:

Start by buying or finding some thin wire. I purchased the wire I used at Home Depot, they had a few different colors and sizes to choose from but I chose the white because I planned on making this hula hoop ornament candy cane colored!

Very cute, you should add a doll to it though ;)

Thank you, that's a great idea. I didnt think of a small doll for the ornament but I did test it around a Barbie doll. The Barbie would be to large for the tree though. I love the little hoop though, it is similar to the hoop I dance with ^.^

Cool! You should think about adding another toy with it like a ball or perhaps a loli-pop. Great entry!

Thank you, I have a very interesting idea for the hoop design for the toy contest!

But for the ornament, maybe getting one of those small barbies or making a small doll to glue in the hoop, like Blossom9283 said, could make for an interesting addition.
