1.  Mark the pool noodles

Pool Noodle Candle Instructions

1. Mark the pool noodle

I decided on this basket for my pool noodle base. I measured the pool noodle inside so I would know how many pool noodles would fit inside the basket and marked the pool noodle so I would have different heights for my candles.

2. Cut the pool noodle

I used a rubber band to hold the pool noodles together. I hot glued the pool noodles to each other. It’s important to use a cool glue gun as high-temperature glue guns can melt the styrofoam.

4.  Trace a Circle on the noodle end
