HoopBunny Temporary Shut Down

As some of you may already know if you follow my Twitter or Facebook pages, I will be closing up my Etsy shop at the end of January for about 3 months. With a baby on the way (yay!) it is becoming more and more difficult to make hoops and keep up with orders so I will be on a temporary maternity leave from hoop making. I am hoping to have the shop up and running again by May (baby girl is due at the beginning of April), but we will see how that goes.

SO if you want to get yourself a HoopBunny hula hoop, now is the time to place your order! I will be be putting the shop in vacation mode on February 1st or whenever any remaining orders are filled.

I will keep you posted on the reopening of HoopBunny Hoops and thank you for all your business and support!

Happy hooping my bunnies xxox

Color Choices for Custom HoopBunny Hula Hoops

You can choose virtually any color combination you can think of for your very own custom HoopBunny Hula Hoop! The photo below displays all of the colors available in three different types of tape: vinyl, duct, and gaffer (grip) tape.

How to Collapse Your Hula Hoop

I’ve been meaning to make a video about this for a while and you can find some examples on YouTube showing how to collapse a hula hoop, but one of my Twitter friends recently requested photos on how to do this, so I figured I’d put it out there for all to see.

Start by holding your hoop upright with the connectors at the top & bottom of the hoop like so…

Place each hand on either side of the top connector.
Push down on the hoop while slightly twisting your right hand towards you & your left hand away from you.

Then fold one side of the collapsed hoop over the other side, folding it in half.

Voila! Now your hoop is collapsed!

Usually the hoop tries to unfold and will not stay collapsed (which is why my hand is in this pic). So I usually tie the hoop together with a pretty ribbon to keep if from unfolding.

I hope this helps! By the way, that is an Age of Aquarius Collapsible Hula Hoop which just so happens to be on sale (20% off!) until this Saturday!

See ya later happy hoopers!

HoopBunny Horoscope Hoops

Lady Libra Collapsible Hula Hoop

The Horoscope Hoops are the first themed collection in the HoopBunny Hoop shop! The first three – Lady Libra, Sizzlin’ Scorpio, and Sparkling Sagittarius – are currently listed for sale on Etsy. The 20% sale for the Lady Libra Collapsible Hula Hoop recently ended on 10/22 when the Libra sign of the Zodiac also ended.

Sizzlin' Scorpio Collapsible Hula Hoop

Throughout the sign of the Scorpio (right now!), the Sizzlin’ Scorpio Collapsible Hula Hoop will be on sale for just $20! I think this may be my favorite out of the first 3 Horoscope Hoops, even though I usually prefer the bright neon colors (and I’m a Libra!). The sale on the Scorpio hoop ends 11/21.

Sparkling Sagittarius Collapsible Hula Hoop

As you may have guessed, the Sparkling Sagittarius Collapsible Hula Hoop will be on sale (for 20% off) during the sign of the Sagittarius, starting November 22nd. Each Horoscope Hoop will be on sale during that particular sign of the Zodiac.The next three hoops that will be released in this collection are for the Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces signs.
These will be listed within the next month so keep checking the shop for new listings!

Each of the horoscope hoops are designed with specific colors that correspond to that particular sign’s symbol, element, ruling planets, star stones, etc. I put a lot of research into designing the horoscope hoops to represent each individual sign of the Zodiac. I am excited to get the rest of the collection in the HoopBunny Hoops shop and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Happy Hooping bunnies xo

My First Hoop Video!

I have recorded my first hooping video! Well, actually it’s not technically my first video, but I recorded my other videos with an actual video camera and when I went to upload them, realized my computer doesn’t have a video uploader & BF threw away the CD for the camera. Urgh.

Anyway, here is my NEWEST video. It is mostly hand hooping. The new trick I am currently working on is the vertical behind the back pass (I think that’s what it is called anyway). It is when the hoop is spinning on the vertical axis behind my back. It’s a lot harder than it looks! I have a cut on my nose that is finally healing which was caused by the hoop somehow coming in front of my while practicing this and landing right on my sunglasses… ouch! From that I learned not to wear glasses while hooping!

Goodluck & Happy Hooping!
