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 centerpiece, 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.
