Who would have thought that a humble pool noodle could be the key to enchanting home décor? If you’re finding your walls a bit dull or lackluster, there’s no need to splurge on expensive art pieces. With a touch of creativity, you can sculpt a pool noodle into a personalized shape and adorn it to craft exquisite wall art.
Here’s your shopping list: a foam pool noodle from Dollar Tree, a sharp knife, and some hot glue. Consider picking up some embellishments like Floweroyal Artificial Flowers to attach to the pool noodle. If you’re not into florals, switch them out for faux greenery, such as DearHouse Artificial Ivy. To boost creativity while staying budget-friendly, you can repurpose old ribbons into lovely bows or reuse string lights for a gentle glow.
Combining various elements allows you to tailor the look to suit any room. Opt for pastel flowers and bows for a whimsical, girly ambiance in a child’s room, or go for sleek greenery and warm lights for a sophisticated feel in the living room, entryway, or an adult’s bedroom. With endless possibilities, you can easily design a distinctive piece that aligns perfectly with your style.
Creating a DIY Pool Noodle Décor Piece
Start by choosing the shape you want to create. In this video, the creator crafts the letter F by slicing a noodle and hot gluing the segments together. Letters with straight lines (such as E, A, or H) are relatively simple to reproduce. If your name doesn’t lend itself to this, consider making a simple wreath by gluing and taping both ends of the noodle into a circle. Alternatively, try forming a heart by cutting two noodles at a 45-degree angle, then connecting them with zip ties for a crisp, defined heart tip.
Once your shape is ready, it’s time to embellish! For flower decorations, poke the stems into the foam and secure them with hot glue. For faux ivy, wrap the strands around the shape for a lush effect. If you have ribbons, mix things up by loosely wrapping them around the noodles and attaching bows for added depth. Additionally, use hot glue to affix small battery-operated fairy lights for a soft, cozy glow. Add some spray-on glitter for extra sparkle. Display your creation on the wall by hot gluing a small hook or string loop to the back so it can hang as wall art. Alternatively, lean your new décor piece against a dresser or shelf for an effortless display.
