Directions
Cut the pool noodle to your desired length if necessary. A standard pool noodle can be used as is or cut to fit smaller spaces.

Bend the pool noodle into a circular or oval shape and secure the ends together using hot glue or strong duct tape. Make sure the shape is held firmly.
Start by securing the end of the burlap ribbon to the pool noodle with hot glue. Allow the glue to cool and set before moving on to the next step.
Tightly wrap the burlap ribbon around the pool noodle, covering the entire surface. Ensure that the burlap is evenly spaced and that there are no gaps. Secure the ribbon with hot glue at various points to keep it in place.
Once the entire pool noodle is wrapped, cut off any excess burlap and glue down the final edge securely.
Now, add your decorative accents. Use hot glue or floral wire to attach items like faux flowers, a decorative bow, or a monogrammed letter to the burlap-covered pool noodle.
Finally, create a hanging mechanism using twine or floral wire. Attach it securely to the top of the decoration, ensuring it will hang evenly and support the weight of the decorated pool noodle.

Variations & Tips
There are many ways you can customize this burlap-wrapped pool noodle decoration to fit different seasons and themes. For a spring or summer look, use vibrant faux flowers and light-colored ribbons. During autumn, incorporate elements like mini pumpkins, pinecones, and autumn leaves. For a festive winter touch, add faux snowflakes, holly berries, or even small ornaments. Additionally, you can experiment with different types of ribbon or fabric instead of burlap, such as lace for a vintage feel or patterned fabric for a more contemporary twist. Personalizing your decoration with monogrammed initials or house numbers can also add a unique touch.
