Thrifty Thursday - Pool Noodle Wreath


My good friend from Dragonflies@Dawn recently blogged about how she was inspired by a craft she saw online and made a Father's Day wreath using a pool noodle. As the title of her post states, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. When I saw these little kid flip-flops at my local craft store, I couldn't resist getting them and followed up at Dollar Tree for the rest of the items. The pool noodle wreath instructions are also listed on Dawn's post.

Here is a reasonable facsimile of my supplies, sans the brown tweed-looking fabric:


And here is the finished product as it now hangs on the front door of my home. (Disregard the tape, it's residue from a former holiday that waits...and waits and waits...to be washed away.)


This project is so easy! And it's inexpensive. I'm already mentally planning a gardening-themed denim wreath that my in-laws can hang on the door of their potting shed. Have you ever tried it? What are your cool wreath ideas? I'd love to hear all your comments!
