Young man holding your cards with a pool noodle is a great idea for small hands. You gave me the idea for giving a pool noodle for cards to senior citizens with arthritis or other hand problems, great for their card games. Thank you♥️

I love this idea I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and the pool noodle keeps pain in my hands at bay. Thank you❣️
Great Idea❣️ 🤗
Ronny Röricht @@
this idea works well for most card games but NOT FOR UNO!!! 🤣🤣and we even tried using a noodle long ways with the cards in the slit...worked but you need a ton of room and it's easy for others to see your cards😞so trade off
I use my pool noodles at the end of summer to wrap my outdoor pipes for Winter!
Great video full of lots of great ideas and information
Good idea
Great idea
Lot of great ideas. I have one for you. I use a piece if noodle. Cut down the middle and slip over my lawn chair arms to make them more comfortable and are no longer hot from the sun. They are great to put in boots to keep them standing up as well.
Did he mention using a pool noddle to use under sink faucet to collect water in a mop bucket?
Another one using a piece of noddle to hold flowers tightly in a regular cemetery vase. ✌️
Great idea for the lawn chairs! 🙂👍🏻
What a great idea!!!!👍👍👍
I love these things. We adopted a beautiful, but young and adventurous cat. She was squeezing into every nook and cranny in the house including behind the washer / dryer and behind heavy furniture and getting stuck. Pool noodles solved that problem immediately. Now that she is older, and I have seen the video, I have left over noodle pieces and have alot of good ideas for what to do with them.
I don't swim and haven't been near a pool in decades, but DAMN I need me some pool noodles.
Great ideas!
Dollar tree
Hahaha! Me too! I wonder if they come in black?
@@waynegroves6922
No need to wonder...Google is your friend. 😁👍🏻
I seriously doubted they came in black, and I was wrong.
I love your pant hanger idea, the ready made pant hangers are expensive, but by using the noodle method I can have 10 pant hangers for just under $2. Very innovative sir.
I brought a 4 x 8' ft piece of wood paneling to throw on top of my little car. Put pool noodles down the edge of paneling then tied down, edges of paneling didn't get beat up and roof of car didn't get scratched. Worked great. Did it 4 more times, transporting paneling home, no pick-up truck available
We have a door that leaks cold air in, in the winter. Indiana's winters are brutal. I will definitely be making the the draft noodle this winter. Thanks for the posting.
@P Hawthorne I'm on the coast of California, and the winter rains come in my front door. So far, the draft liner hasn't stayed in place, so I'm going to get my noodles at the dollar store.
Yes Indiana winters can be harsh at times
Depending upon the door, you can use one noodle slit length ways and attache it to the bottom of the door.
I put them in my knee high boots to keep them from bending at the ankle, a boot tree is $20 of more, a pool noodle is a $1.00 at my local dollar store and you can cut them to fit any style boot.also use them rapped with newspaper to stuff in your boots to dry them in the rainy season, which is almost year round here in Seattle.Kellyanne
Hello from Moses Lake where boots stay dry more of the time, but even better there's not much traffic.
I also use them to keep my knee high boots from bending, it works great!
Pool noodle split to fit over edge of a pantry shelf to keep things from sliding or rolling or falling off.
I use them pool noodles cut to size and slit it and paint to match my decor and hide wires from tvs,lamps and such
@@patriciawalstra1008 Got it, thank you.
Omg yes not for my pantry but when I’m working things constantly ether roll or fall of and I was thinking omg why don’t they put little lips on desks 👏🏼 thank you 😊
@@michelleparker9919 Yes that is a great idea! I have tried clamping boards or cardboard to the edges of my table but this is so simple of an idea and soft. Makes it perfect for a craft table.
Your door air stopper was excellent! There’s one where you can use your noodle as an extension for filling pails etc from faucet to floors etc!
A woman asked me where I got the cushions on my walker and when I told her I cut up a pool noodle from W------ she smiled and was so happy. Anyone who has used a walker knows what I'm talking about. My knees and shins were so bruised before I noodled them. Free tip.
Hello again. I used a pool noodle about 10" long on a shelf end on the wall in the office which is low enough for the short people but just the right hight to bump my head. Attached to the end of the shelf by cutting it open and sliding it on the same way as your door stopper.
--Also pool noodles cut to about 5" or 6" long and slid up on bed legs is a great way to save your toes when you need to find your way in the dark. Trust me thats a good one.
Thanks for the idea! I have a particularly vengeful bedframe . . .
Now that's using the ole noodle! I Used zip ties to secure pool noodle to cover the edge on the grandkids Radio Flyer wagon's metal lip. they use it to gather toys
and clothes they scatter through the house.the noodle acts as a dandy bumper to keep furniture and walls protected from collisions and painful leg bruises. And theres so many cool colors!A piece on the lawn mowers handle bar reduces sore hands from vibration really well.
Great idea about the lawn mower handle. I'm definitely going to try that this summer!!! 😊
Doing in home care for the elderly I used pool noodles on the side rails of the hospital beds so my clients didn't bump their heads on them. Like you I cut and split to fit.
Another project was the shower chair. The elderly get frail and thin skinned, their bodies are a boney frame. I took the pool noodles cut to length, threaded a long shoe string through them and lined the shower chair with them. Put a towel over the noodles to prevent sticking. No more sore bones.
+debbie martin Those are some wonderful ideas.
You sound very nice!
What great ideas! And you sound very caring!
Very thoughtful.
You are an angel.
For those who live in colder climates and experience ice and snow during the winter, pool noodles work terrific as windshield wiper blade covers! (Of course, only when vehicle is parked.)
or just lift the blades up on the hinge they all have so you can pull them up from the window
I never would have thought of that but what a great idea keep them from icing over. I don't live in cold country anymore but if I move back I'll have to remember this one.
@@renerenault7467 There is conflicting debate on this, but it has been suggested that raising the blades up off the windshield might damage the springs in the wiper arm assembly; and/or possibly damage the windshield if the wiper arms are not lowered again with care.
@@sarahrobertson6936 I wish I had that option!! (i.e. not live in a cold country anymore)
@@-D-W I do understand but I have to say you can put more clothes on in the cold but this heat just makes you miserable and agitated at times
Great ideas. I also poke holes through them using a screw driver. I attach to end of a hose and voila- instant drip hose for watering vegetables.
Can also be used vertically as a fun sprinkler for kids.
Wow...love the drip hose idea!
Just last night I slit a pool noodle, cut to fit door width, gutted the middle of the noodle a bit then slid in under my door. 1 noodle works very well and living in an apartment complex where people now smoke weed darn near 24/7 my noodle keeps their habit out of my home.
Did that with the bathroom door late last fall and the space heater in the bathroom now only needs to run on low.
@@suezbell1 A wonderful share Sue which I hope many see and copy to keep their space cozy on less money.
I hang curtains in the doorways using spring-loaded rods as I don't have central heat or A/C so the curtains keep both in just the room I'm using. It also allows my cat to come and go as he chooses, something not possible with a closed door. The curtains soften the look and feel of my apartment but best of all is my utility bill is a small fraction of what neighbors pay!
Great idea for draft dodgers?
I live in a mobile home, where the interior doors don't come to the floor (necessarily). I am going to try this one to see if I can keep it cooler in the summer by closing off completely the rooms I'm not using at the moment.
I watched this out of curiosity and actually found some great ideas. I love to keep my front and back doors open but when the breeze catches them they slam. I love the idea of the noodle to keep the doors open. I'm going to buy a noodle TODAY. Thanks.
Glad to help
Mounting a noddle on the hinge edge of a door will put a tremendous amount of pressure on the hinges if the door is pushed closer to closed.
My poor dog is so scared of the doors slamming on a beautiful summer day and a breeze comes through the house omg problem fixed
I love the card holder idea!!!
My kids are always struggling to hold cards in their little hands. What a great idea
I have one hack that I love and want to share. I cut them to size and make simple fabric covers for them. I then put them in my boots to keep them from folding over. works great.
+V Ashley nice idea
Me too! But minus the fabric covers.
Great tip! But why the fabric covers?
I also use pool noodles for my boots! But no covers! I have 20+ boots! NO time to sew covers! Gotta go buy more boots! 😂
You can also slip them in tube socks for the same purpose
i helped a lady with her dog that jumped off the stairs in their house and broke both her front legs. i used a pool noodle on each leg to splint the dog until we got her to emergency vet. the vet liked the splints so much, he set the legs and put the noodles back on to keep them set.
Awesome thinking 👏
Hahaha! I love your CREATIVITY! I always
suggest to my little
Grandsons that they
can INVENT things to
help others AND to make
$$$ too!
NanaAnn 😄
Good Job.!
How beautiful. You're making me cry. .
Cool
More uses: To fill a mop bucket from the kitchen sink, using a noodle as a hose.
Also they work great to mark tent ropes when you are camping, and slip down over the tent pegs.
I use one on the rim of my 5 gallon buckets so when I am out, I can easily sit on them.
They are good to color code water hoses for different parts of the yard or garden.
Putting one around a tall stake in the driveway helps you stay on the pavement when its covered with snow.
+F.K. Burnham All of those are great ideas, thank you
F.K. Burnham really great ideas

We use on patio chair arms for senior elbows
Wouldn't Use Safety Pins by Your Neck/head....lol Wrap with tape/string/ fabric...No Pins... poor planning! Good video idea though! Ty!
Neat ideas. I quilt and found that rolling the top on a noodle and the backing on another noodle and float the batting in between, helps with quilting the sandwich together. I just have a home sewing machine and this by keeps the top and backing firm without pinning or basting. Love your ideas and found a lot useful. Thanks for sharing.
Patricia Bockenstette I quilt for others and when I take it off my long arm, I give it back to them on a pool noodle. Keeps it pretty and wrinkle free. I also store my own projects in process on pool noodles.
Patricia, I’d love to see how you do this. I am a quilter too, and I use them to baste my quilt together.
I use neon yelloe over my tent lines. We camp in tight quarters so it's kept many campers from tripping. Great for awning arms, too. Saved a few bumps on heads. 😊
Add some glow in the dark paint for extra safety
I love all these ideas, and want to add mine. I used the grooved pool noodles as moulding to seal around the walls of my garage, fancy and insulated!
That's what I do! ☺️
I bet it looks pretty cool. I have two cautionary tales. In one house I lived in, there was a metal strip in between the garage floor and the drywall to the house. We thought that was great because if you hosed the garage floor the house drywall wouldn't get wet. Some sneaky termites came in between the metal strip and the drywall and ate their way up the inside of the drywall behind a chest of drawers. We only saw the damage when we moved the chest and saw daylight through tiny holes at about eye level. At next house I knew to check for termites. Found evidence. Exterminator said keep everything at least an inch away from all interior & exterior walls. He said, "2 kinds of houses in MO: those that have termites & those that will get termites."
I use a jumbo pool noodle across the foot of my queen size bed to keep the heavy blankets and quilts off my arthritic feet. It works great!
Camping bucket (toilet) they put it around the edge so the seat will be more comfortable to sit on
Putting one at the side of toddlers mattress , totally brilliant !👍🏻
I loved this. Clever. I use a pool noodle to cover the metal legs on my daughter futon. No more bashes toes.
I do a lot of shipping of breakables I cut them in half and line the boxes with them
With the pandemic going on I cut a 12 to 18 inch piece of pool noodle cut it down the middle. Use it over the handles of a shopping cart. When finished I take it off wipe it down with a disinfectant wipe put it in the trunk for next time.
also, a 6in piece slit to cushion your hands carrying 4 bags in each hand
Leave it q little longer so people will stay a distance from you
@@butterflyforeve 😂
Brilliant, seriously!!
Why not just wipe the handle of shopping cart? Easier to carry a couple wipes. Or just wear gloves.
I have tall ceilings in my house. I use a pool noodle (with a cloth wrapped around the end) to catch dust strands where the wall meets the ceiling.
Kewl idea! I like it!
Whow! A good beer bottle insulator!
Lots of good hacks. I especially liked the bottom door seal.
I like the large pool noodle under the sofa. I’m going to use that idea under my desk to keep the robotic vacuum from coming in contact with the computer wires.
I use a 12in small pool noodle for a lumbar support in the car.
I love the way to keep the doors open one... always so worried about my little one getting they finger stuck in the door. they have this new game called slam the door repeatedly n scare mommy... i have put blankets over the door they pull it down. I have bought latch hooks they ripped it out the wall n 1 second. didn't know toddlers were so strong.
Thankyou thank you thank you... this will really help.
My younger brother was an escape artist by the time he was a year old and could walk. He could unlatch windows, crawl through and drop to the ground. He used a broom handle to unlatch a screen door and escaped. He would do that when Mom thought he was sleeping in his crib. She was really stressed with him!
@@gingereaves4097 I understand your mother’s dilemma. I too had a little boy who was a silent escape artist! I am happy to report we both survived, just barely.
@@robinpesek3657 LOL! I am glad. My brother is alive and well. Mom used to say he gave her most of her grey hair!
Like the suggestions. I slit a single pool noodle longways and literally slid it underneath and attached to the bottom of the bathroom door to hold the heat from the space heater this winter. Works well, too and no fabric to get nasty.
I found most - not all - of the pool noodle projects to be things that Hubbs and I don’t need or wouldn’t use. We’re 60s, no children; but I do applaud the child-safety pool noodle projects. The one that I just LOVE: pool noodle under-door-draft-blocker. Goodness, our house is 75 years old and so drafty that I’m ready to get those old, too-big jeans and start cutting! No pool noodles available this time of year in our tiny town, but the hardware store has pipe insulating foam tubes. Thanks!
I have a bad back (middle & lower) and I use my regular sized noodle to sleep on at night especially when I'm having a really bad time with the pain. I position the noodle straight down my spine area and use a thin pillow or a small towel for my head. I don't know how but when I wake up the pain is pretty much gone! I LOVE several of your other idea's for noodle use as well and plan to go today and purchase a few more noodles. I know the noodle makers use all the bright colors for the kids in the pool but perhaps they should consider making some in adult colors for use around the house! Just say'n! Thanks for your video! Great job...
You have discovered the same method the Melt Method uses. Check out Sue Hitzman sometime.
Dollar Tree @ Halloween they receive black, orange, purple, & lime green. @ Christmas they receive red, white, & a regular green. U.S. 4th of July & Memorial day they receive red, white, & medium blue. Hope this helps someone plan a head.
We put a pool noodle around almost the entire rim of one of those white utility buckets when we go camping to mimick a toilet seat. put the toilet paper roll on the wire handle and TaDa! an outdoor toilet
Great idea!
Yes, this is genius! 🚽👍🏻.
There are some great ideas here. I see some pool noodles in my future!
Thought I would share my noodle idea...cut to length. Split down the center. Wrap in a thin batting and a fabric of choice. Then slip over crib railing so littles don't chip the coating or swallow nasty stuff.
No chips should be able to be gnawed off, if it is, return it or if its g-ma's old crib, please reconsider, slats are not to safety standard and paint do chip and peel and might have Lead
Our house that I own was built in 1913. Thanks for the sealing the bottom of a door idea. I have used foam strips with adhesive around the door frame that works pretty well. It won't work at the bottom of the door but your 'pool noodle' idea will work on both the back door and the side door. Our front door is blocked off by my wife's plants and I sealed the door in the frame with silicone caulk. There's no draft either in or out. The back and side doors both have cold air come in at the bottom in winter.It looks like I can now fix that.
One noodle split might work without the fabric that can get dirty.
Pool noodles rock! So many great uses. Thank you. I just wish my local stores would carry them all year round instead of just in the spring and summer. I bought 6 when they were in stock last spring and they're gone already - used for cool non-pool stuff.
The hardware store has black ones for pipe insulation available year round. Some are already split, so you don't have to cut them!
Try Dollar Stores. Ours has them year round and we have snow through mid-May. 😊 Bought one today at Dollar Tree.
Maybe a well known hack but a good one….cover the springs on your trampoline..
I have a thin dresser behind the front door that the curtain hardware was gauging. Slid a sliced noodle over the dresser pull. Noodles make the most perfect bumpers. If you want grey or black use pipe insulation. It also comes in different sizes.
Very cool! Thank you! I personally liked the hanger hack
i'm going to put one on my driver's seat shoulder strap. 🚙🚗🚓 no matter what car i drive or ride in, the seat belt cuts into my collar bone &/or neck, leaving sore red lines in my skin every time i drive❕
I buy sliders at the auto parts store. They are the color I want that matches my car interior. They are flat, velvety soft and the seat belt slides inside them instead of sawing on my neck. One for each of the belts in the whole car
I put it behind my back then have to pull it back in front cuz I hate it so much. I am too cheap to buy the 'sliders' but I have pool noodles around. I bought them for a trip to Cali. I saw a diff hack where you ROLL your clothes around them before you put them in the suitcase. It eliminates wrinkles!! It worked great for blouses and dresses.
they make seat belt covers...my family uses the small ones designed for baby car seats...they are easy to wash and stay pretty good...even keeps the center seat belt from falling into the crack and going "missing"
I have little clips, I guess they are sliders but they save my neck. It hooks to the waist part and then you slide the vertical one into the holder.
I like mine also, fits on the seat belt, long lasting and convenient.
I'm a pool noodle fan, also. Most dollar stores have (in the pool section) little styrofoam kick boards. I have two, green, shaped like frogs. I use those for under my knees, and on my gardening stool (I have lumbar spinal stenosis which makes life very challenging) between my tush and the stool seat. I also put one of them under my elbows as I work on my raised garden beds. I keep a couple in my house so if I need to clean my clothes washer's filter, I have something soft on which to kneel. They are way less expensive than the hardware/gardening store kneeling pads, and last just as long. :-)
People who restore and sell cast iron skillets will cut up pool noodles to put around the edges and over the handle for shipping. Despite how tough cast iron can be, it can still break when thrown around carelessly and not properly packaged.
Oh my gosh. I love the bike one. Funny but functional. I think I'd put a very lightweight blinking light into it too.
These are just SO helpful, and economical. Thanks for sharing! : )
+J Jo Thank you
nice job! you can also buy noodles @ end of summer really cheap & store them for winter. I bought some to put over faucet/pipes during winter. not sure if it would wrk in Northern states, but wrks in Tx. thanks
They should work. After all, the pool noodle originated from pipe insulation. And pool noodles are usually thicker than normal pipe insulation tubes.
Come on,...who gave thumbs down??? Very creative video,..thinking outside the box👉🏻Good job!
Plantgarden88 just goes to show that for every 1000 people there are 73 butts.
Crazy people that's who lol... very creative.

Really enjoyed the "Daddy" view point in many of your noodle hacks. I work with children and have one coffee table that I was always taping the corners of... only to have them pop off. Fun ideas. I do have pool noodles in my sewing /craft room to wrap wet fabrics/ wool felt around for drying, and can be used for tie-dyeing ideas too.
Slip a noodle over a standup paper towel holder, cut to size & use for straight pin holder. Can cover w/cloth, if desired.
I am a quilter and can see myself making nice removable covers for seat belt pillows for my granddaughters. I also could make a nice cover for the foot stool. Great ideas! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, I'm looking forward to trying a few of these options, that you so kindly posed. I use pool noodles to set a broken or sprained leg of my goats, and it worked very well much better than a cast. Cheers
I like the candle idea.
Nice video,
I used pool noodles cut to length for the springs on my trampoline just slide each spring in, no need to slit the noodle,
Way better than the crap blue surround matting
+nick longstaffe Great idea
nick longstaffe this is what we have on our trampoline
Specific Love Creations bbbvvmmn
I've seen this hack in photos....I like the idea of putting them in a pattern based on how many colors you have available. Then it looks more 'factory made' than homemade.
I wish you were my neighbor. I love coming up with ideas like this. God bless and keep hackin'!
Take a pool noodle, cut to length, and split it on one side. Slide it over the edge of a hand saw blade both to protect the blade and protect hands and fingers.
Good idea...my machete has no cover
That's a good way to transport long knives w/ missing covers, as well! Good one!
Reading through the comments, I just got an idea: for bicycles at night (some have to do that for various reasons) put a pool noodle on the cross bar(s) from front to back, with reflective stickers or paint on it; it's a larger area of reflectivity so the bike is much more easily seen. (I would suggest strongly that a reflective jacket also be worn for more safety. )
I really like the bumper one to protect the bumper. That bicycle one is really ingenious keep cars further from you
3 super fat ones across your roof make an awesome way to transport a canoe without an expensive rack. When strapping to your car make sure the nose is slightly pointed down.
Great ideas sometimes a little far-fetched but I like him he gives me ideas you’ve done a great job
Brilliant. And look I don't have autocorrect. Love and support to every one
Great idea with the draft stopper, thank you
For the bike, I thought you were going to put a noodle over the bar so when boys land on it they don't go OUCH if you know what I mean....LOL.
My brother did that.... bad
Girls do that too. Not just boys. And it hurts girls just as much if not more. We can actually bleed down there from doing that. Just sayin.
cyberi4a me too, lol!
@@kandeekane1 Yes! I learned to ride on a boy's bike. The bruising "down there" was so painful.
Another use: Cut short sections (1-3 ft) of orange or yellow pool noodles to slip over the end of ground stakes (for example, tent stakes). Gives a visual warning cue to help avoid tripping on the 'hidden' stakes out of the normal line of sight. I also put 6 inch sections on the boundary marker stakes at our property corners. Helps prevents running them over them with the mower. They last 2-3 years outdoors before needing replacement.
Really enjoyable and creative ideas. Every time I go to the Dollar store I look at and wonder about poodle noodles. I don't wonder anymore thanks.
A couple more hacks for you: 1. My dad was in a hospital bed before he passed. I took pool noodles and covered the metal bed rails. That protected him in case he rolled into them or hit them with his arm. 2. My bed doesn't have a footboard and I frequently bang my shins on the frame. I cut small sections of pool noodles and stuck them over the frame ends. No more bruised shins.
Great idea. My little granddaughter, 16 mos. old, was sliding down the side of my bed to get down and her knees hit the frame! OW! We couldn't figure out what happened. I slid my hand down the side to see what hurt her and the side of the base bows IN and she hit the metal frame. I felt so horrible. Pool noodles are going on the bed frame.
Love my noodle, on the top of bucket, and some kitty litter in the bucket (I made one that I took it down in my tornado shelter!! So, if I'm down there and can't get out I've got my potty. Also I have some juicy drink, 6pk, and cheese crackers. I also have an whistle, to call for help..just wanted to maybe give hints!-
We made the similar potty to take on a camping trick It was actually really comfortable.
You left off a biggie.... cutting a slit and putting it over the edge of a 5-gallon bucket for a porta-potty toilet seat. Don't forget to line the bucket with a bag first.
My dad does this when we go camping ⛺️
I do this when I go camping too.
Omgosh excellent idea thx
Schtuke, I do the same when fishing as a comfortable seat
that I can store gear in.
Wow..thank u 4 that info 💞
Some great tips, and some replies were good tips too. Not sure I’d try the noodle sticking out from the bike as some hoon could aim to get it.
A pillowcase would be good around the noodle footrest.
yes...he was thinking too much inside the pool...or maybe it was outside the noodle?
@@puszikat70 har har har!
He's so clever! Loved it
..thank you!
Woah! I think we could come up with as many ways to use pool noodles as we could with ways to use duct tape. Love these ideas!
thanks for making these life hack videos. love how you include your son.
+marty braun Thanks
Pool Noodles are pretty cool and versatile. I want to make a boat out of them....some day... Thanks for all the great ideas.
+Captain Everything I am actually working on a pool noodle boat. Should have the video completed this week.
Great ideas! Will use some of these!
Slip a ten inch piece over the side edge of an rv slide out...keeps you from whacking your head.
YES! I was hoping someone would mention this. We camp all the time and I see noodles on the edges of camper slides frequently.
Thanks for that one. I just bought property to homestead. Two friends came up with their travel trailer and one of them hits her head on everything possible. A hidden talent I never know about.. I grabbed a pool noodle for the rim of my 5 gallon bucket at Dollar general. Since it’s end of season they were ~50 cents , so I grabbed a handful thinking they’d come in handy. She laughed at me. Wait until I go down and line all the hazards on her camper. Who’s laughing now? Thanks to all for the great ideas.
I have another one for you. If your head board is a little loose - to keep it from banging on the wall - put a couple pieces of pool noodle between the headboard and the wall. 👍🏻
wham bam
LOL this is the best idea yet!
I put a couple pieces on the back of my computer desk; no more hitting the wall every few minutes when I move around!
The Pool Noodle King 🤴🏻👍👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome ideas. I winterized my windows with pool noodles this winter. I put them everywhere there was a spot letting air in and also around my ACs and of course had to slit and cut some to size accordingly.
I put it around my ac !
I have water retention in my legs and should keep them elevated. Can’t very well put the recliner in the kitchen where the family is, although I did try it. NOT GOOD. I will bundle, tape and make a footstool for my legs with the noodles. I’m in a wheelchair so I can take it everywhere I need to be.this will be grand, thanks so much.
I thought of the very same thing! I need something lower than what most footstools are. I'm on my way to the Dollar Tree!
I think you may very well become known as “pool noodle guy”.
Lots of great tips😊
Some good ones I've never seen before ‼️😻
The car pillow idea is pure genius!
Christine Cameron, I would use it as I drive to keep it off of my neck, which is very Chaffing & irritating.
Why not on an airplane for those long flights!
Great ideas, I like to use🤯 the black pipe insulatio tubes. They are just like a poolo noodle but they are black. Different sizes can and don't look as goofy. The black makes a difference in appearance, if you care about that sort of thing. All the we applications apply
of course, that stuff is more expensive then the pool noodles at the Dollar Store. And you could paint the pool noodles black.
@@theabristlebroom4378 They come in black too.
Using some nylon cord and about 10 to 15 pool noodles, tie them together by running the cord through each noodle as they lay side by side, then weave the cord and the noodles to form a pool raft. You can make it as big as you need it.
OMG simply brilliant uses for noodles!
Wonderful pool tricks !
one of the best hacks videos I've seen. Thanks for posting!
My son threw his fishing rod in one time when he was casting out lucky for me it didn't go to far and deep in the water and I was able to fish it out by casting my line and hooking it but maybe I will try the noodle hack
Great ideas. The nursing home ideas from below I'm going to use for my mom. The most exciting thing my daughter and I do with pool noodles is use them as a base for a flexible animal costum tail. You cut wedges out of the sides and then run a rope or wire threw the middle. That's covered with batting and faux fur and ran threw. Attach 2 elastic loops a end to run a belt threw. Its will swish from side to side as you walk.
They work great in grave site vases to help hold artificial flowers.
Many more graves lately :(
Wow ... good ideas .... I like the one for the living room table, so the child will not get cut or hurt .... 🖒🖒
you can do it on pretty much any table...and the picnic table cloth holders help too if it's a really thick table...just tape them in place and slide the pool noodle over the holders
Toilet paper rolls work well for storing cords for things like hair dryers and short extension cords. Takes up less room than a pool noodle.
But alarge wide mouth plastic peanut butter jar is easier to find.
Love your ideas..keep them coming
For the ones you cut lengthwise, you can also use pipe insulation; already cut, floats and has an adhesive strip usually. Only comes in grey.
But they usually cost more money than a simple pool noodle, even though the pool noodle was designed from the pipe insulators.
but is more expensive.
