Cozy Flannel Pool Noodle Wreath
Materials
- One standard-size pool noodle
- 1.5 yards of flannel fabric (choose your desired pattern and color)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Ruler or measuring tape
- Tape
- Decorative elements (e.g., faux flowers, berries, pinecones, ribbons, etc.)
- String or ribbon for hanging
Directions
- Measure and cut the pool noodle to the length you want for your wreath. When a regular pool noodle is joined end to end, it usually forms a complete circle.
- Bend the pool noodle into a circle and tape the ends together tightly. You may also use hot glue to increase stability.
- Cut the flannel fabric into strips that are 4 inches broad and long enough to wrap around the noodle.
- Begin winding the flannel strips around the pool noodle, slightly overlapping each strip to cover the whole surface. Secure the fabric ends with hot glue.
- Once the pool noodle is completely coated, apply hot glue to any ornamental pieces you’ve chosen, such as artificial flowers, berries, or pinecones. Arrange them in a visually appealing arrangement to compliment the flannel fabric.
- Attach a piece of string or ribbon to the top of the wreath to form a loop for hanging. Make sure it is firmly bonded or knotted in place.
- Hang your freshly made wreath on your front door, ensuring that it is centered and firmly connected.
Variations & Tips
There are several ways to personalize this wreath to match your taste and the season. Use red and green flannel to make a gorgeous Christmas wreath, then decorate with ornaments or holly berries. In the fall, go for orange and brown tones with imitation foliage and little pumpkins.
During the spring, pastel-colored flannel combined with artificial flowers may produce a new and colorful design. You may also experiment with other fabrics, such as combining flannel and burlap for a distinct feel. A personalized monogram letter can also be used to add a distinctive family touch to the wreath.
