Pease, why is my pool noodle wreath sagging?

I made a pool noodle wreath. It's sagging badly. I duct taped a pool noodle and decorated it. It seems very stiff. It's fairly large too. Is there any way to fix it without having to redo it? I wrapped it in a cut up sweater, so it's rolling back, and undoing it, would ruin it. Thank you.

Sorry, it sounds like it may be too big. Since pool noodles aren't made for that, they aren't very stable. Could you cut a large piece of foam core in the shape of your wreath and glue the whole thing to it?
I don't know how to fix it without taking it apart. If you do that, taking apart a thin cheapo (more flexible) wire hanger, forming it into a circle and threading it through the center hole in the noodle will help. Could you do that in the back between the noodle and the sweater without disassembling it?
Maybe needs a wire hanger inside it
If you are afraid of undoing it, you may want to create a stiff wire circle, put it on the back of the wreath and use a fine floral wire to lash them together (taking care to disguise the floral wire by tucking it into any folding or what not of the sweater). You could try a wire hanger to make the wire support circle, but it may not be strong enough. You could always just use a wire wreath form that you can pick up at the dollar store or your local craft store. They are super strong. Best of luck!
