My friend Chris gets amazing ideas lol.
We did a halloween one of these but she wanted to expand.
These are pool noodles spray painted and on top are the battery operated candle lights.
This one is for Christmas and I absolutely love it.
They make great table certerpieces.
It'll go out for the yard sale in October. I'm not sure how I would ship it lol.
I just have to show her work off.
I can't wait to show you the fall one she did as well.
She's the real talent in this duo.

It does look interesting... But how did you get a fake candle to drip down the sides like that?

She uses paint. Like acrylic paint and lets it drip down.

@JordanLader Ohhh... that makes sense. Thanks for telling me. I appreciate it.
Is this really the first time I've talked with you? (My pc says I've never spoken to you before.)

@DaddyEvil No. We've had a few interactions before. Not long ones but we've talked lol
I can tell you how she makes them from beginning to end if you'd like. I know that I bought her six pool noodles at the dollar store and she still has more left over after doing two different sets.

@Marilynda1225 She is. We're working on plank signs now. She made the wall hanging and stained it, I make the sayings.

It is nice, I would prefer the noodles not spray painted, but that would totally change the look.
I made Christmas centerpieces from pool noodles I found a picture that I will attach, but I put a natural evergreen wreath as the base with the noodles standing inside of it. I had lots of pinecones and baubles.

That's really nice. Our noodles were orange and purple lol. Plus the spray paint kind of hides the rubber band or any glue used. The evergreen is a really nice touch. Very pretty.

@sica98 I think that's why even our mistakes turn out pretty decent. We truly do enjoy what we do.

She made one of these for Halloween but wanted to do something different too. I love that you can do just about anything with them.

I can't wait to post the autumn one! She wanted to do something other than Halloween because that's what you actually see the most of.
