Grab Some Dollar Tree Pool Noodles For The Cutest Wall Decor

Dollar Tree is heaven for anyone who loves crafting and DIY home décor. There's always an item you can grab to use for something in the future. Must-have blank canvases like vases, planters, dinnerware, picture frames, throws, and candles are perfect for affordable, guilt-free experimentation. There are some versatile hidden gems, too, and you need to add them to your fun craft creation inventory. Dollar Tree's Outdoor Fun Blue Pool Noodle Booster is a good example. This summer necessity resembles a ring of small pool noodles and is designed to keep children safe while swimming. However, you can use it to build a stunning Dollar Tree DIY for that empty space on your wall and fill it with artificial flowers.

The noodle booster's rounded design and ribbed texture are perfect for creating a lightweight sconce-style vase that's easy to install on your wall. Paint it and add your favorite faux florals, and you have trendy wall décor that looks expensive but is actually crafted from a $1.75 Dollar Tree buy. This idea not only adds color to an empty wall but also provides a renter-friendly option. You mount the vase to the wall using self-adhesive strips. Here's how to DIY this one-of-a-kind wall art for your home on a Dollar Tree budget. Get a pool noodle or noodle booster, a roll of Super Glue Pre-Cut Foam Mounting Tape, and a few purple Colorful Artificial Spike Bushes from Dollar Tree. Then shop online for a can of Rust-Oleum American Accents Ultra Cover 2X Spray Paint in Gloss Black. You'll also need a craft knife and some Command Indoor Medium Replacement Strips.

First, use your craft knife to slice the foam into two half-cylinders. Lay these cut foam pieces on a protective surface and spray-paint the exterior black. Let the first coat dry before applying a second coat. Keep adding layers of paint until the blue foam is fully hidden. Set the pieces aside and let the paint cure for 24 hours. Once the paint is cured, you can peel the backing from the Command strips and affix them to the sides of each half-cylinder. The top of the curve should face toward you. Peel off the wall-side backing and mount the vases to your wall, firmly pressing the foam above the strips for 30 seconds each.

Push the star of the show, your faux lavender stems, into your new wall vases, spreading them out to create a balanced look. The artificial flowers add height and softness to the black fluted half-cylinders. They contrast beautifully with a neutral wall. Alternatively, shop Dollar  Tree's extensive selection of faux flowers, bushes, and greenery for trendy eucalyptus, dramatic onion grass, pretty baby's breath, or traditional rose stems. To DIY textured wall art that looks so high-end with this Dollar Tree foam noodle booster, mix some gray or terracotta acrylic paint with baking soda for a stone-like or ceramic finish. If you can't get your hands on a noodle booster, you can use a couple of pool noodles. Cut the noodles into short pieces, halve each piece, and mount them to the wall in groups.
