Very clever mums are turning a pool noodle into an incredible Christmas table centrepiece, using a $2 pool noodle from Big W, a hot glue gun and baubles.
Sharing the hack to Facebook, one woman wrote: "First time hack pretty pleased with the result!"
While she picked up most of her decorations from Kmart, Big W and Target, any old decorations you have at home can be put to use.
How to create a pool noodle Christmas centrepiece
Here's how she did it:
Step 1
Feed a rod through the centre of the pool noodle to keep it from bending.
Step 2
Using your hot glue gun, start attaching your baubles.
Step 3
When the baubles are all attached, fill in the gaps using Christmas decorations.
Step 4
For extra coverage, add some greenery.
Step 5
Finally, spray your wreath with fake snow!
