Remove any netting from the toy basketball hoop, and disassemble it from its mount board if it has one. Cut one leg of your nylons or pantyhose at or just above the knee. Pull the cut top around the rim of the hoop. Discard the remainder of the nylons or pantyhose, or save the other leg for another skimmer.
2). Use your glue to fix the nylons at the top of the hoop by running a bead of glue around the hoop at the place the net and hoop lock together.
3). Use the wire bread or garden ties to fix your handle onto the mounting section of the toy hoop. Use glue to reinforce the bread tie binding. Choose bread or garden tie colors that match your hoop, if possible.
