From Pool Noodle to Wreath
Hey guys, I’m back! I have been out of pocket for a little while, but I am finally getting reenergized. Yaay me!!! For those of you that are not aware, I was diagnosed with pneumonia a couple of weeks ago and it really knocked me off my feet. I tried to keep up with my writing but the meds and the fact that I was totally worn out, got in the way.
When I got to feeling a little better last week, I was not allowed to go out, but I did complete a couple of small projects although nothing earth shattering, but I really needed to do something. So today, while I am feeling better and before I run out of steam, I decided to try to get back on track. So here I am, back and feeling almost like myself. Well at least until around 2:00 pm when I melt down. 
This first project cost nothing really. I happened to have all of the supplies in my supply closet.
Noodle Wreath:
The first small project I tackled last week was a noodle rag wreath. Some of you may be wondering what in the world is a noodle wreath and whether or not this post is medicinally induced. Well yes and no…in actuality, I used a pool noodle from the Dollar Store and turned it into a summer/fall wreath. I say summer/fall because I think with a change of the flowers and embellishments, the color scheme will work for fall as well. Do you agree?
Although you cannot see it, I used masking tape to hold the two ends of the noodle together to form the circle.
What You Will Need?
- Fabric
- Pinking shears
- Push pins
- Glue gun
- Noodle
- Masking tape
Preparation:
Cut the material into 2 inches wide strips by 6 inches long. It does not need to be exact. If the material looks familiar to you, you may remember I used it to recover my daughter’s dining room chairs. See that post here. I try not to waste anything. After-all, I am the budget diva.
