It’s summer and the pool noodles abound-at
home, the beach, swimming pool etc. Here are some fun ways to enjoy them,
including ideas for recycling those that are wrecked and stuck in the back of
the garage.
• Make a garland for outdoor parties: Cut them
into ½ thick pieces (use the noodles that have ridges in them) and string them
together with a needle and thread. Watch a video You can also put a piece of wire through one edge and wire it to a strand of
lights.
• Make stamps out of them: Again using the ridged
noodle, cut ½ inch pieces, dab on the paint and stamp.
• Napkin rings: Perfect for pool side
dinning. Slice into ½ pieces, pull the napkin through the hole and viola!
• Flower Bouquet: This would be a fun
surprise for someone in the hospital. Use a ridged pool noodle. Cut into ½ inch
sections. Stick a green pipe cleaner (think the correct name is craft sticks)
in one end. Put a bunch together in a vase.
• Large flowers: Use two different
circular noodles. Slice in ½ inch slices. Glue five in a circle (they’ll look
like daisy petals) and add a contrasting color in the middle.
• Make a wreath-Just tape the ends together, or
connect with a wooden dowel, and start
decorating. Like Styrofoam, you can stick pins in them.
• Make an Epee (sword) and practice your
fencing skills
• Make a Bendee: Stick a wire (unbend a clothes
hanger) and bend the noodle into any shape you want. Make a giant heart. Use
several to make a shamrock. With a number of them, you can make giant flowers.
