Cheap Pool Noodle Turns into Lovely Flower Decor

Turns out pool noodles can be crazy versatile! They’re the ultimate all-in-one tool for floral decor. You can keep them whole or chop them up – they’ll transform into something new and useful every time. And when you use a Dollar Tree find, you know you’re gonna end up with a charming, budget-friendly project.

For this DIY, the first thing you need is a pool noodle from Dollar Tree. It’ll give some height to your decor, but don’t worry – it’ll be cleverly hidden inside a glass vase. As for the candle, Dollar Tree has plenty of options to choose from. Just make sure the candle is wider than 2.5 inches to fit your vase.

You’ll also need a few tools like a ruler, utility knife, and scissors to trim the pool noodle and flowers. And a bamboo skewer will make it easier to arrange the florals in the vase.

First, trim down the pool noodle so it’s just tall enough to boost the candle up to about an inch below the rim of the vase. The exact height will depend on your vase and candle sizes. Pop the noodle in the vase, then use the skewer to push 8-12 snipped flower heads around the noodle, hiding it from view.

You can stick to one flower type for a simple look. But mixing different blooms and adding some greenery will give it more depth and texture. And if you want to make it a double-glass display, just put a small votive candle inside a larger vase.

However you customize it, this Dollar Tree pool noodle candleholder is a budget-friendly way to bring some floral flair to your space.
