Slice pool noodles into rings and wrap them with string lights. You’ll see why everyone’s obsessed with this one.

What You’ll Need

• Standard pool noodles (any color works)
• A sharp utility knife or serrated knife
• String lights (LED works best)
• Clear tape or hot glue (optional)
• Fishing line or twine (for hanging)

How to Make Them

1. Slice the Noodles
   Cut the pool noodles into rings about 1–2 inches thick. Try to keep them evenly sized for a uniform look.
2. Wrap the Lights
   Thread or wrap your string lights through the center holes of the rings. You can space them evenly or cluster them for a fuller glow.
3. Secure if Needed
   If the lights shift, use a small piece of clear tape or a dab of hot glue to hold them in place.
4. Hang or Display
   Drape them along a fence, hang them from a pergola, or string them across a bedroom wall.

Why Everyone’s Obsessed

• Budget-Friendly: Pool noodles are inexpensive, especially at end-of-season sales.
• Customizable: Choose different noodle colors to match party themes or holiday décor.
• Indoor or Outdoor Ready: Perfect for patios, birthday parties, dorm rooms, or cozy reading corners.
• Soft, Aesthetic Glow: The foam acts like a built-in light diffuser.

Creative Ways to Use Them

• Backyard wedding décor
• Kids’ room night-light garlands
• Outdoor movie night lighting
• Holiday porch accents
• Festival-inspired bedroom walls

You can even spray-paint the rings for a more polished look or cut patterns into them for extra texture.
