Christmas is just around the corner, and if you’re hosting this year, you might be looking for the perfect table centrepiece. Introducing the Kmart pool noodle Christmas hack that’ll transform your table setting into a joyful explosion of colour.
Kmart fans always love a good hack, and this Christmas season is no exception. Very clever mums have begun turning a pool noodle into an incredible Christmas table centrepiece, using a $2 pool noodle from Big W or Kmart, 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 Christmas 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 to do 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!
