Unless you are on vacation or on the other side of the world, you are more than likely not using a pool noodle right now. Here are three different uses for those pool noodles lying around your backyard or garage.
Wreath Base – Form a circle with the pool noodle and attach the ends together with masking tape. Affix silk greens, pine cones, whatever you’d like and voila – a handmade wreath just in time for the holidays!
Safety Guard – If you have saws in your garage with little kids running around, you need to be super careful that they are stored properly. Cut a pool noodle to the length of the saw’s blade, slice a slit halfway into the noodle, and then place the saw into the slit. (Then put that saw far out of kids’ reach!)
Boot Shaper – Even though I live in a warm climate, I love boots (and sweaters, and jackets, and scarves). A great way to keep your boots’ shape is to cut a pool noodle to the height of the boot, and stick it in the boot.
Can you think of any other alternative uses for a pool noodle? I’d love to hear about them!

I am little bit ashamed because I don’t even know what are pool noodles 🙂

Lol Marina! No need to feel ashamed…I didn’t know what they were either until my boys introduced them to me!

So cool!!! I saw this article once that said you could tuck them under the sheets in a toddler bed to keep them from rolling out of bed!
