How to Make a Pool Noodle Winter or Christmas Candle
Pick up a pool noodle to make the coolest candle display!
The best part is that they’re so easy to make and cost next to nothing!
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.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
In the YT video I saw you use Light Antique Wax to brush over the glue drips. Does it make a difference to use the brushed on wax? It's not listed in the material list. Where did you buy it?
Also, can you give us an idea of the height of the candles.
Lastly, Do these tip over or would it be ok to put a rock inside the bottom hole to stand solid?
Thinking about wedding table decor.
Where do you use the Killz primer?
