Wrap a hoola hoop with the cord or ribbon of your choice. You can use a dab of glue gun to attach the edge to the hoola hoop or tie a knot. Continue to wrap the rope all the way around the hoola hoop. At first it may feel awkward but as you go you start to find a rythm. This part is best for an adult or older child. When you get around the hoola hoop add a dab of glue gun to finish off the edge.
String up tons of various beads (flower beads, pony beads, spool beads, pom pom beads) on plastic cording or elastic and tie the strands to the hoola hoop. This is a great collaborative project for a play date or birthday party. You can add as many strands as you'd like and continue working on the chandelier over time. You can focus on patterns or just go for whatever looks fun. You can tie different objects, like keys or tassels, to the bottom of the strands to add interest.
Once you have all your strands up on your chandelier find a great spot for it and hang. Beaded Chandeliers are a delightful addition to any room.
