DIY Christmas Pool Noodle Wreaths

Similar to the Christmas Ornament Trees post, I did not get step-by-step photos/videos for a tutorial of this one. But it’s a pretty simple project using basic materials so I still wanted to share what I worked on and maybe provide some ideas or inspiration.

The wreath is made from pool noodles and tape. Yup, just regular old pool noodles! My crafty BFFs and I actually did this project as a volunteer giveback project at a local elementary school.

So here’s what I did. I cut the pool noodle, curved it into a circle, and taped it there using heavy-duty Duck-brand tape.

For the ornament ball wreath, I applied the ornaments with hot glue directly onto the foam pool noodles. There’s no exact science to how I placed the ornaments really lol. I just tried to make them as visually appealing as possible, separating colors, textures, and sizes.

I also added a few decorative bows.

Once everything dried, I added ribbon with wire at the top so the wreath could be securely hung from a wall or a wreath hanger on a door!

One note of caution, some of the ornament balls have glitter so be prepared for a glittery sparkly mess!

Snowman Wreath

The snowman wreath was my favorite and if I’m being honest, I really wanted to keep it. But alas, it was for a good cause and I did in fact donate it. 🙂 I may or may not be obsessed with snowman decor.

So for this guy, I took two pieces of pool noodles and folded them in two circles, one smaller and one larger.

Then I taped the two circles together. I added a piece of small firm cardboard between the middle of the two circles to help strengthen the tape joint that holds the two foam noodle circles together.

From there, I wrapped the foam circles with soft white fabric and then strips of burgundy fabric. I added a black piece of rectangular fabric for the scarf and made a hat out of cardboard and black felt. I added a spray of Christmas greenery to the hat, secured by hot glue, and voila!
