hula hoop rug diy

Hula hoops: great for tightening up your middle after one too many pieces of pudding, playing an especially humungous game of quoits, or, as this DIY suggests, acting as the perfect circular loom.

The clever clogs over at Flax and Twine have used the twirly toy (plus a cut-up old t-shirt and a sizeable ball of finger knitting) to weave up this colourful rug – or wall hanging, or placemat, depending on where you dig it most. It's a wee bit time-consuming, but fairly easy-peasy, so stake out a few hours to get your weave on and find the full instructions over here.
