Hula Hoop Bows Together With Padded Arrows!

Hula Hoop Bows together with Padded Arrows!

Okay, this is an slow bow diy that is cracking for trivial kids!

I started amongst some inexpensive dollar store diversity hula hoops.
They are a really lite weight pvc. If I was making this for my 12 twelvemonth former son, who would desire to a greater extent than of a delineate when he pulls dorsum his arrow...I would simply purpose straight off PVC pipe.
Alas, hoops. And wooden dowels...either 1/4" or 3/8"

I used a hot knife to cutting my hula hoops inward half.

Then I used lots of patterned duct record together with decorated!

Just record together with wrap!

Next I notched the overstep together with bottom of the hoop together with strung it amongst a string.
I swapped out this string for 550/Parachute cord.

In club to clitoris the cord tight enough, it curves the hoop quite a bit!
Which mightiness live on likewise far of a hit for the arrow...or tiny arms. Cut downwardly the hula hoop every bit necessary.

Then I used a slice of packing foam...it's squishy similar mattress foam.

Wrapped it to a greater extent than or less the hoop together with duct taped it inward place.
Makes a cushy paw grip.
The arrows are simply a large ball of cotton fiber packed inward a circle of stuff together with hot glued to the dowel.
Then wrapped amongst a pipecleaner.
I don't know how I missed taking pictures of that...sorry!

Cute for girls together with boys!
Would brand a cracking political party favor for a birthday party!

He was pretty pleased!

Shoots plenty of a distance for kids to experience proud of themselves...but non to create much damage!
Use caution if using these amongst large groups of children...and I
would recommend non shooting people. It's simply a proficient practice.
