These pool noodle wreaths are so easy to make and look lovely in your home. Grab a pool noodle from the dollar store and get creative!
The first time I discovered that a pool noodle could be turned into a wreath form? Mind blown. If you’re here reading this blog post, you’re probably thinking the same thing. And maybe even wondering how to do it.
Well my friends, it’s simple. All you do is a grab a foam noodle from Dollar Tree (or your local dollar store), some tape, and then do a little bit of this action:
You simply tape it into a ring, and now you have a basic round wreath form that you can decorate to your heart’s content! It’s that easy. Some people use glue guns to secure the ring as well, but I’m a duct tape girl.
Whatever method you choose for securing, you’ll have an inexpensive wreath form ready for your crafting adventures in a few minutes flat.
There are two features of making a form like this that I really love: 1) it’s very lightweight and 2) the form itself is waterproof. Which is nice if you want to put a noodle wreath on your front porch or door.
So once you have the form, what do you do with it? That’s really why you’re here! And I’ve got over 35 ideas for you. There are a variety of styles and techniques, from DIY wreaths made in under 30 minutes to some Christmas and holiday options.
If you’re in need of some inspiration, I think you’re going to love these projects below. Please take a peek. These DIYs are relatively easy, but if you have questions, please leave them as comments. Enjoy!
PS – we have posts on wreaths for Christmas, fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving, if you want to get more specific. But check these out first.
