Variations & Tips
Instead of typical ornaments, try incorporating natural materials like pinecones, berries, and burlap ribbons to create a rustic effect. Spray paint the pool noodles in a festive color before wrapping them in garland for an added flash of color. You might also experiment with other garland materials, such as tinsel or beaded strings, to create a distinct texture. For extra depth, combine various garlands, such as evergreen with berry or frosted garland.
