(no subject)

In an unprecedented bout of craftiness, I've decided to try my hand at making a collapsible hula hoop this weekend. I know where to look for all of the components except for bulk bungee. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a car, so travel is not a problem, but would prefer to buy locally, if possible.

Thanks, but I've already seen this design. I may play with this at some point, but I really like the separating design and want to try this as my first project.

I'm curious to hear how it turns out!
The bungee/separating ones I've seen have not fared well over time (except if they use the button connectors as the above poster mentions, or more complicated attachments). However, I've only personally seen the design done as a fire hoop which are subject to much more force than regular hoops, so it could totally just be that.
