Samantha's Gymnastics Journey | Rhythmic Gymnastics Leotard and Hoop Design

Gymnastics is a high maintenance sports. Leotards and apparatuses could really kill the pockets. But thank God for second hands.

Samantha got this hand down leotard from a friend. I am glad she could fit into it. This is what she's going to wear on Sunday for 8th SRGC Classification Competition.

I changed the ribbon around the hoop, from silver and purple to silver and red to match with her outfit. I am never a "crafty" person. So I feel that it's really a hard work for me, especially taking out the double sided tape to keep the ribbon on.

For those who are wondering how to take out the adhesives on the plastic hoop, you may use Goo Gone. I found mine from Ace Hardware. As for the ribbon, you may find it at any educational supply stores.

So here's Samantha's outfit for Sunday.

Keeping my fingers crossed for this Sunday's classification competition.

Gymnastics Hoop Design

I am not a very "crafty" person. So when Samantha asked me to please wrap a tape around her gymnastics hoop, I panicked. Like suddenly, I didn't know where to get the tape and how to wrap the tape around the hoop.

Okay.

I am exaggerating.

I just didn't know that I would end up doing this.

I actually wanna make sure I was doing it correctly, so I asked Coach Sarina where to get the tape. 

"In Daiso can get."

Oh yeah, silly me. LOL.

Anyways, since I was in MPH the other day, I checked out some tapes and found glittery purple (Samantha's favorite color) and silver, each piece had 10 yards. I didn't know how long I needed so I bought two for each color.

Actually, one roll for each color is enough. In fact, it's more than enough.

I tried using using super glue at first, but after I wrapped the tape and tried using, it came off easily. So I went to buy double-sided tape and it worked!

Here it is, my pride. LOL.
