I would like to order a custom children's hoop for my niece, but have questions before I placed the order.
I have several hoops of my own and have a pretty specific idea of what I'd like to get for her. She LOVES the color pink and she also loves sparkly/glittery things, so I'd really like to get her a hoop that is all pink glitter holographic tape accented by a stripe of purple grip tape (a thin stripe as seems to be indicated by the size of the tape on your website). I would like for the vinyl tubing to be completely covered by the tape if that's possible. I realize that this will make the hoop a little heavier, but that's ok.
In looking at the options available on your website, I couldn't figure out whether you'd be able to make a hoop like that or how to go about placing the order. If you would let me know when you have a chance, that would be great.
Also, my niece measures 27 inches from the floor to her belly button. What size hoop would you recommend, allowing some room for growth?
Many thanks for your help!
The order wouldn't be a problem at all. :) I believe the style you're wanting would be a Candy Cane hoop found here: http://yourhoop.com/index.php/Hoop-Play-Kid-s-Hoops/Candy-Cane/flypage.tpl
The grip tape is placed at the edges of the glitter to keep the glitter tape from curling or fraying. In the Base Color option, Glitter tapes follow the Vinyl colors. The Bright Pink Glitter is the 8th in the list and should be just what you're looking for.
As far as size goes, most folks go about 2-3 inches above a child's belly button to leave a little room to grow. :) We HAVE seen kids as young as 5 hoop with an adult size/weighted hoop and they enjoy it thoroughly, but it sure does look uncomfortable and pretty funny!
Thanks so much!
