Although summer noodling is my preference, pool noodles aren’t just for summer and pools. In my search for alternate uses, I found some ingenious people bending, twisting, cutting and taping them into creative and functional uses. Here are 8 creative ways to re-purpose these styrofoam sticks if they are clogging up your patio or garage!
1) Use noodles as a bed rail to keep little ones from falling out of bed when traveling
2) Cover those dangerous trampoline springs
3) Put a noodle over a cheap plastic hanger to avoid creases
4) Add to the edge of a door to prevent slamming
5) Baby proof furniture with sharp edges
6) Make a floating cooler using a plastic bin
7) Make painting easier (and cleaner) by keeping your brushes organized
8) Keep your boots upright and organized in your closet
I am sure there are a million other uses 🙂 – let us know if there is a cool way you recycle these handy little noodles and we will share it!
