I've been really into making wreaths lately so I quickly realized I needed to utilize some cheaper supplies to fuel my wreath fascination.
Enter pool noodles. I got all mine at the dollar store and they work out perfectly!
Here's how you do it:
First, take your pool noodle and cut a bit off the end at an angle.
Then, cut a bit off the other end at the opposite angle. Sometimes this can be kind of hard to see and I've messed it up a couple of times. You may want to use a marker to draw your angles before cutting if you don't want to lose any length off your pool noodle, which would make your wreath smaller.
Then you fit the two angled ends together and tape around it. I used packaging tape in this tutorial, which works but I recommend duct tape. I just didn't have any on me at the time.
I use a lot of tape to ensure that it stays together. Sometimes, the circle can be a little lopsided so I just tug where I need to so it can be a circle, rather than an oval. If it pops open, all you'll need to do is retape it so it's okay if that happens.
And that's all there is to it! Now your wreath form is ready to be decorated!
I used mine to make a Halloween Wreath! If you'd like a tutorial for this wreath, let me know in the comments below!
What are you going to use your pool noodle turned wreath form into?
