All the parts cost about $15 . . . total time to make the hoop was about 3 hours, but that included time for figuring things out. You could probably make one in less than 2 hours with this instructable and soldering skills . . . Supplies:

I am selling a parts kit on prodmod.com for between $40 and $60 depending on size and types of LEDs.
You can follow instructions on Craft Magazine Vol 6, or you can see what instructions I post this weekend.
I found a way to make is really easy to assemble, you dont even have to solder connections if you dont want to.
If you are in the NYC area you can come to my free workshop where I will show you how.
You can even buy a kit really cheap $45 if you are picking it up at class.
Class will be on April 16th, 2008 at 3rd Ward in brooklyn.
