Pool Noodle Halloween Candles

These spooky pool noodle candles are the perfect creepy decoration for your next Halloween party! Easy to make, so much fun, and a simple pool noodle craft that will make you say Boo! 

Materials

  • Two pool noodles
  • Box cutter or small knife
  • Low temperature hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Battery operated tea light candles 
  • Plastic spiders, skulls, flowers, or other spooky décor
  • Tape
  • Ribbon

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing pool noodles at varying lengths with box cutter to make 6 to 12 inches long pieces that will make five candles. 
  2. Hold pool noodle and using a box cutter, carve out a hole in top of the noodle just large enough to place a tea light candle in. Repeat with four other noodles. 
  3. Use a hot glue gun to drip melted glue at the top of the pool noodles near your carved out hole, working your way down the sides to create a melted wax illusion. Be careful not to use a high heat glue gun as this will melt the pool noodle. Repeat with four other noodles.
  4. When the glue has dried, group the noodles together and glue touching sides to create a cluster. Tie ribbon around for decoration and to secure noodles together.
  5. Glue various Halloween items like plastic spiders, webs, skulls, flowers, etc., onto noodles. 
  6. Turn on tea lights and place them into the holes on top of the candles.
