Many of you have enjoyed our Pool Noodle Lights post from May. Since that post we have discovered a new product that makes the lights even easier—Immersible Battery Operated Lights manufactured by Darcie purchased at Joann Fabrics. Now you don’t have to be concerned at all if the lights get wet.

We created a Christmas/Winter version of the pool noodle lights. ​
Materials/Tools
  • Pool Noodle—we used a flower shaped one & a standard round one
  • Silver spray paint that is compatible with use on plastic—Rust-oleum makes a good one
  • Christmas floral pics
  • Package of Darcie lights—there is a piece of paper between the battery & top, be sure to remove this or the light won’t turn on
  • Serrated knife

  1. Using the serrated knife, cut the pool noodle slices about 1” to 11/2”. Spray with silver spray paint. Let dry. 
  2. Place a floral pick close to the center of the hole.​ Note: the hole in the flower shaped noodle is larger than the immersible light so we cut pieces of the pool noodle & stuck them into the hole to keep the immersible light in place.
  3. The round noodle pieces got floral picks only as the hole on these is too small to fit a light.

That’s it—place them in your pond or pool & enjoy the festive view.

Can't believe the noodle foam didn't melt with the paint! Just so creative! Thank you for sharing this pretty Holiday Craft and joining the 12 Days of Christmas Tour Link Party! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I used spray paint that is safe for use on plastic.

I tried this but when I put them in the pool they fall over sideways. Any thoughts? thanks

Hey Janice- They might be too heavy on one side or maybe they aren’t sliced thick enough. The decoration needs to be as centered as possible so the weight is evenly distributed.
