Description

A fun and creative project to transform pool noodles into enchanting luminaries that add a whimsical touch to your home decor.


Ingredients

  • Pool noodles (various colors)
  • LED tea light candles (battery-operated)
  • Craft knife or serrated knife
  • Craft paint (optional)
  • Paintbrush (if using paint)
  • Decorative elements (such as stickers, washi tape, or glitter)
  • Clear adhesive or glue
  • Scissors

Instructions

  1. Cut the noodles: Using a craft knife or serrated knife, carefully cut the pool noodles into desired lengths—usually about 12 to 15 inches.
  2. Make the top and base: Slice off one end of the noodle to create a flat base and gently cut a circular opening at the top large enough to fit an LED tea light.
  3. Paint or decorate: Use craft paint to color the noodles or apply decorative elements like stickers or washi tape for added flair.
  4. Add LED candles: Place an LED tea light inside the top opening and turn it on to watch your luminary glow.
  5. Showcase: Arrange your luminaries on tables, windowsills, or outdoor patios for a lovely effect.

Notes

Ensure to cover any open cuts with paint or glue to better seal the luminary. Use only LED lights for safety, as pool noodles are flammable.
