Flip Flop Summer Pool Noodle Wreath Tutorial
Oh, and by the way…
It’s raining here. Yes, I’m serious. Just thought you should take a second to feel sorry for me. Unless it’s over a 100* where you are. Then I will feel sorry for you! …and we can have a pity~party swap.
Okay so here is the 411 on my latest Noodle.
You will need:
- Grab yourself a Dollar Tree pool noddle.
- You’ll need some Clear Packing or Duct Tape.
- Gather your fabric and embellishments. (I got flip flops and some fake flowers at the Dollar Tree for mine. Plus, I had various scraps on hand)
- A glue gun or whatever you like to fasten your goodies to the noddle with.
- Choose a comfy place to work at.
Optional – Maybe grab a snack or pop on a cheesy TV show to sustain you!
Step One;
Grab your noodle, bend to have the two ends meet and tape them closed.
I picked my fabric, a light cotton and snipped the edge, then tore it into strips.
I tore about 5 strips 5 inches wide.
Step Two;
I then glued the first strip down, and started to wind it around the noodle. Continue to do this, adding a new strip as necessary. I just fold a pinch of the exposed edge down as I go, no need to hem or worry about a raw edge. Easy~Peasy!
Once the noodle is all dressed… Decorate as desired!!
Step Three;
I added some fake and handmade fabric flowers to mine.

For a little extra dimension…
buttons are cheap, easy to work with,
and come in zillions of colors!
That’s it folks!
It’s a silly~fun Summertime wreath.

Hi…I made this wreath this morning, but I used a grapevine wreath. I must say…it’s a great conversation piece. I’m looking for a reason to create another one. I also added a huge polka bow beneath the flip flops. Keep the beautiful ideas coming Shannon!

Oh fun! I bet it’s darling. My sister sent me a photo the other day, she made a flip flop wreath too (:
Barb says
Could also use foam wreath if you don’t want to fuss with noodle. Soooo cute!

So true. I like the $1 price tag on the noodles though. I am a cheapy-cheapster (:
