Holiday Light Pool Noodle Wreath
Materials
1 pool noodle (standard size)
1 string of holiday lights (battery-operated or plug-in, 50-100 lights)
Decorative ribbon or bow
Clear packing tape or duct tape
Scissors
Optional: pinecones, holly, ornaments for additional decoration
Directions
Bend the pool noodle into a circle and secure the ends tightly with clear packing tape or duct tape so the shape stays firm.
Start wrapping your holiday lights around the noodle, making sure the spacing stays even as you work your way around the entire ring.
Secure the battery pack or plug on the back of the wreath with tape, keeping it easy to access.
Add a decorative bow or ribbon to the top or bottom of the wreath for a festive finish and fasten it with tape or by tying it on.
If you’d like extra flair, attach ornaments, holly, or pinecones with hot glue or tape to enhance the look.
Hang your wreath using a hook or wreath hanger, and plug in the lights if they aren’t battery-powered.
Variations & Tips
You can adjust this wreath to suit any holiday theme by switching up your light colors or ribbon style. Wrapping the noodle in burlap or fabric before adding the lights gives it a soft, textured look. For a nature-inspired finish, mix in greenery or floral accents. If you enjoy something more playful, decorate with snowflakes, stars, or small ornaments. Test a few ribbon colors or patterns until you find the perfect match for your front door décor.
