Hey guys :)

I've just made my first hoop YAY!!! and loaded it up with sand. I am planning on using electrical tape to decorate it but does anyone else know of any other ways to cover it (aside from tapes)?
Had the idea of using a hot glue gun (or just any decent glue/cement that will bond to the polypipe) and covering it in ribbon, seeing as they come in a greater range and much easier to come by (thank you reject shop/spotlight). Has anyone ever tested this before?
Main worry is that the hot glue would probably melt the pipe

Tips, tricks or brilliant ideas? (Not as brilliant also welcome :P )

Thanks
-Bron

    The hot glue won't melt the pipe but you will probably not stick for very long.
    Have you thought about using double sided tape and trimming the edges of the spiral of tape with matching electrical tape.
