How to Make a Pool Noodle Winter or Christmas Candle
4 Materials

Easy
SUPPLIES needed for a Pool Noodle Christmas Candle
Dollar Tree Pool Noodle
Kilz Primer
Craft Knife
Tea Light Candles (battery-operated)
White Paint
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun
Step 1. Use a craft knife or x-acto knife to cut the pool noodle to the size that you want.
I cut 3 in different sizes so I could stagger them.
STEP 2. Place a battery-operated tea light on top of one of the pool noodles to use it as a template for cutting. Use your craft knife to cut a large enough hole to fit the candle.
STEP 3. Place each of the 3 battery-operated candles into the pool noodle to ensure they fit. Make any adjustments as needed.
STEP 5. Use a chip brush and white paint to paint the candle. Be sure to cover the entire candle. Let dry.
STEP 6. Use your hot glue gun to create faux wax running down the top of each candle.
STEP 7. Use your hot glue gun to add a pretty ribbon to the bottom of each candle.

I think think these can be used anytime. You can blend paint and make wooden look or better cut a limb. I love candles! Especially the ones with timers! Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you for sharing your ideas! Can’t wait to get mine done today! Plus helping a friend! Going now!😊🎄❤️✌🏼Peace, faith and hope
