A lot has been said about the versatility of pool noodles that you can’t just let them stay lying around in the winter. With this in mind, here are the three amazing uses for this humble foam material that you can highly benefit from.
#1. Phone Holder
Simply looking at pool noodles will make you wonder how you can use it as a holder for your phone. What you need is a foam cutter, or a knife if you don’t have one. After making about one and a half-inch cut of foam, create a crisscross cut where one section has a size bigger than the other. It is intended to allow your phone to be placed on the holder from different angles.
#2. Improve and Protect Your Outdoor Chair
With this purpose, what you need to do is to cut the pool noodles into a spiral form. You can then use it to wrap around the objects in your house that are fatter than the hole of the foam itself. The armrest of your garden chairs would be a perfect option for this hack to make them more comfortable to sit with. You can do the same with the legs of your table to protect heads of little kids.
#3. Beer Can Thermos
If you prefer to drink beer cold until the last drop, then do know that pool noodles would be a perfect insulator due to the foam material it is made of. First, cut off the top of a beer can that you can use to create a hole in the foam. In order to remove the core of the noodle, you will need a bent utility knife to cut the bottom of the foam. Just repeat the same process with the other piece of the thermos, then cover. Then just close the holes and you’re all good to enjoy your cold beer for longer!
