I like how you used the pool noodles when planting and to hang up the broom and mop. I used a pool noodle and cut slits in them to hang my husband's fishing poles.

When I need a noodle in a more natural color (like for your trash can bumper) I go to the plumbing section of any hardware store. They sell brown, tan and black "noodles" (actually pipe insulation) that work out great. Also, they come in 1-2 inch diameter, so there tends to be less shaving down. This is also a good tip when you are looking for noodles in the winter. Thanks for all of your excellent videos and tips!

I used pool noodles last year to make giant lollipops for the christmas display in my front yard 🍭🍭🍭🍭

My two hacks: I live in an old house with hard wood floors and some of our interior doors have gaps at the bottom that allow dust to travel inside the closets. I cut a slit in the noodle and slip it over the bottom of the door. Second, I lived in a house with a shower/tub combo with glass doors, the metal track was painful to lean over when giving my kids a bath so I cut a slit in the noodle lengthwise (and cut it to fit the width of the exposed track) and would slip it over the track during bath time. Love your hacks!

They’re also great to fill in gaps between the tops of furniture (like dressers and desks) and the wall to prevent things from falling behind the furniture. Use whole or cut in half lengthwise, depending on the size of the gap.

I used pool noodles to replace the thin foam on our trampoline safety net poles. That way, when the kids accidentally tumble towards the poles, there is lots of padding. When my son was still rolling out of bed, we put a large pool noodle under his sheet on the edge of the bed. It worked great.

My pool noodle hack is for limited use but add them to crutches for more comfort on your arm pits.

Pool noodles inside boots!!! Revolutionary!! LOVE THIS IDEA

My daughter is getting married and we have tents out side. We bought colored pool noodles to match her wedding colors and they will be placed around the bottom of the tents where the tent stakes and lines are so no one trips. Esp after a drink or two those tents can become dangerous. My husbands idea :)
I Love your videos. They keep me inspired to organize. ❤

The hack with the pool noodle being converted into a broom/mop holder woke me up this morning faster than my coffee did, woman! MIND BLOWN! I have a small apartment and a curious cat that enjoys gnawing on broom bristles, and this will work perfectly!

I use three Dollar Tree pool noodles and 1/2 inch PVC pipe when quilting. I have the hardware store cut the pipe to a bit longer than the noodle, then slip the pipe inside the noodle (it fits snugly). This makes the noodle straight. Then I can lay the backing wrong side up on a table, place a noodle on top at the top of the fabric and pin the top edge to the noodle with T-pins, and roll the fabric onto the noodle. Likewise the batting, but securing with masking or painter's tape if the T-pins don't hold it well. Then do the same with the quilt top face up. You can then unroll some of the backing on the table, place the batting on top and unroll some of it, then place the quilt top roll on top and unroll some of it. You can then baste your quilt sandwich together a section at a time on a table without crawling on the floor, using very inexpensive tools.

Ive been doing the pool noodle/boot truck for a few years. It’s brilliant!

Cutting one up & putting it in a planter sounds perfect. It’ll make the pot much lighter, too.

We used orange pool noodles and black electrical tape to make Lorax trees for a Dr. Suess baby shower. The tops were made with tissue paper flowers. They were a hit and we had so many compliments from our guests.

Kathryn you are an amazing presence. Your personality makes me smile. You are also an incredible mom to Carson and Owen. Enjoy the rest of your summer ! Sylvia

Mine is for holding a hand of cards for a toddler, like when playing "Go Fish". Cut a small section, slice in half so the back lays flat and cut a slit in the top.

[emmalandry]

I use pool noodles on the bars of a baby gate to keep my 3-pound Chihuahua from escaping.
I will definitely use them now on my clothes hangers to keep pants from creasing.
Thanks great tips

My favorite is the planter filler and the wreath. I will be trying them both. Great ideas tfs

[willow]

The broom idea is FABULOUS! When I say the ring for your wreath-as a sewer w/dogs I thought OH great idea, make a dog bed! I am going to try doing that. We use noodles everywhere. My husband built his canoe rack and covered all the rails w/noodles to protect his canoes.

[sherresmith]

Love your ideas Kathryn.
My Favorite Use: Cut a pool noodlein half, to the length you desire, and fasten it along the garage wall at the height where your car doors open. It saves my finished garage walls from grandchildren swinging open a car door when I park a little too close to the wall for a full open door.

I love the broom and mop holder idea and also Rebecca Hazen's idea to fill in the gaps behind dressers and furniture where items tend to fall.
