How do I add support to our Pool noodle ornament wreath?




my daughter and I made an ornament wreath from pool noodles. When hung it sags so bad it becomes an oval. Any ideas how to add support now that it’s done??

Create an x made of craft board cut to 1" glued with e6000 to the back at the 12, 3,6,9 spots like on a clock face then create a large snowflake out of foam board, decorate to match and place in the center to cover it.
Hi Brenda.
If baubles are all around, I would remove those from the rear side and stick either Heavy Cardboard, thin MDF or other means to reinforce the donut shape. The if required decorate or colour to match and or blend in so not seen. Maybe you could buy a large wire wreath frame..........Good luck. Otherwise reduce the size!
my husband made a plywood frame, i used fishing line to tie the wreath to the frame.
hang it from sides instead of top -
you might be able to find a wire frame to attach to the back-looks pretty big but some craft store might have something
can you insert a piece of black poly sprinkler pipe into it? 3/4 should be able to keep its shape and still hold the weight.
Wrap a piece of wire from top of wreath to bottom and disguise it with a ribbon bow.
I had this problem and attached a hula hoop to the backside
This wreath needs a focal paint. Hang a huge ribbon bow of blue, silver, and/or gold on the right side, using fishing line or thin wire. Hang the wreath on the wall or door, just a bit higher. The bow will even out the oval, but mostly it will distract the eye from looking for a perfect circle. For even more stability, use a plastic stick-on hanger on the left side. Unless you have ocd as I do, there’s nothing wrong with an oval! Merry Christmas! ☺️
TILEBOARD ~ If your door is white, glue a round piece of tileboard to the back. Let it dry overnight. Hang the next day. Tileboard is made for the shower so it's waterproof & has a slick surface. School glue over the edges where it's been cut for additional waterproofing. It's very strong for it's thickness & durable. For extra embellishments, you could add a bow of some kind to the wreath OR you could glue a pretty picture to the tileboard before adding it to the wreath for a decorative aspect as well as support.
I often used paint stirrers hot glued to the back of my wall swag decorations I've made to make them stronger giving them more support. With a wreath like yours you could cut 4 pcs. In the longest lengths possible to glue to each side of the back of your wreath to both strengthen it and to help keep it safe shape. I even spray painted mine gold on my projects but, usually not necessary. I justify did it in case it could be seen at any time in any way to hide that it was not part of the decoration showing through. It also helps the decorations to hang more evenly when spaced well. Hope this helps.
Depending on circumference, will determine what is needed for length, from what I see at least one 8 to 10 foot length of 1/2" rebar (used to reinforce concrete). It could have been done before, and "inserted" into the core of the pool noodle. But since your "done" now I would suggest creating the "circle" needed. And then using "white" (in your case) "zip" ties to attach at various points around the circle, at the back, "tighten" to the pool noodle, not the ornaments, where it will be unseen. You can reattach the "moved ornaments again to hide the metal better. It will also provide a "better" place to hang it from. You can also spend a bit more and get "coated" rebar or paint it first with metal paint, to make it last longer.
You can reinforce the wreath using cardboard in the back.
