Turn a pool noodle in to a festive spring wreath with Duck Tape!
I love to have a nice wreath hanging on our front very tall front door. I like to swtich them out by the season or holiday, but there is quite a gap between the Easter egg wreath and the 4th of July wreath. I was in need of a bright wreath for spring! I prefer to make my own wreaths and decided to make one with a dollar store pool noodle and some festive spring Duck Tape®.
Duck Tape® has a lot of fun colors and prints for spring. I love the glitter tape, but I thought it might be a bit much all the way around the wreath. So I opted to go with white tape to start with.
Start by taping together the ends of the pool noodle. Make sure they are securely taped together so they don’t come apart.
Next, continue around the entire circumference of the pool noodle circle. Don’t break the tape, just keep wrapping it around at a slight angle. Make sure to cover the entire noodle and overlay the tape a little each time around.
You’ll end up with a nice round wreath ready for decorating!
I really wanted to use the glitter tape so I used it to make strips on the white tape. I did single strips of tape and cut with scissors. Close the tape stripe on the back because the ends won’t perfectly match up so we want to hide them.
Next I used small, thin silver Duck Tape® to make small stripes in between the purple glitter stripes.
I love pinwheels and they remind me of spring so I picked up this flower pinwheel at the dollar store to put on the wreath. I just taped it on using the white tape.
And that’s it! The entire project took maybe 15 to 20 minutes to make and I have a cute spring wreath for my front door!
I have noticed that the Duck Tape now comes in amazing colors and designs. My oldest daughter used purple and black zebra print and blue Duck Tape and cover her dresser, was upset at first but when she was done it was beautiful. This is a beautiful wreath and I think I might let my daughter have a go at it. I suck with Duck Tape, it always seems to get stuck to it’s self or my face.
It’s definitely not the gray stuff I had when I was a kid! I love the stuff you can do with it – and I bet she loves her dresser!
love it really gettng into decorated duck tape this is so cool. Thanks for sharing visiting from weekend wind down have a great mothers day
Happy Mother’s Day to you too, Lorraine! Thanks for stopping by!
I didn’t know the wishi tape came in sparkle colors. For me I would have used the pink first, as I am a color gal. Great job and it turned out so cute.
It’s actually Duck Tape – I’m not sure washi is quite as big? I actually was going to go with the glitter on the bottom, but I wasn’t sure if I had enough! 😉

Thanks, Laurie! I didn’t know!
This is really pretty! Did you use the entire length of the pool noodle, or cut it down?
I once tried a pool noodle wreath… that I had no success with. So I’m glad for some more inspiration to try again.
I still have a heart wreath up, so I ought to change it.
No, I didn’t cut it at all. But I’m not sure if the dollar store ones may be shorter than say one from a big box retailer. It’s the perfect size just as it was!
This is such a clever idea. It turned out really cute! I like your color choice.
Stopping by from Mon Linky Party and I MUST give this a try! Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
Hi Carrie! Thanks for stopping by!
too cute and easily customizable by picking your fav colors of duck tape. I love pinwheels too and that is a pretty flower one! I didn’t see one of those at our local store but I might sneak back to double check!!
The pinwheel spins, too! It’s so fun! I’m thinking about stocking up on pool noodles to make some fun wreaths with the holiday Duck Tape prints later.
oh that would be too fun!!
