- This video is the third in a series of Under the Sea Party Decor. In this video, I show you how to make a DIY Pool Noodle Coral Reef. This was the first time I ever tried something like this and it was pretty easy to make.
The majority of the items for this project was purchased from a dollar store. The wire was purchased from a hardware store. You can make this as big or as little as you want. You could even have multiple boxes. When covering the boxes you may need to use multiple layers of tissue paper to cover up any writing on the box. I liked the look of green but you could also try using a brown paper to make it look more like rocks and sand. When I picked out the pool noodles I got as many colors as I could find. With the green and red coral, make sure you space the tape out evenly. After you tape the whole noodle take a look to see if anything needs to be readjusted. Make sure to leave approximately a foot at the bottom of the noodle that is not cut. When I made this I left less than a foot uncut on the green coral. They ended up being really floppy and had to be taped up to the wall. I left more room on the red ones and they stand up on their own. For the straight blue coral and the orange coral, I took a long pool noodle and cut it into four different sizes first. The blue pool noodles came in a flower shape, so I just followed the pre-existing lines to cut the tabs. When cutting the orange coral be careful not to cut all the way through. You could try using scissors for this. For the blue branch coral, I found using a bread knife was a lot easier to cut all the pieces. When making the branches try making different lengths for each branch. Cut the wire on an angle to make a sharp point. This will make it easier to add pieces to the branches and a lot easier to puncture the box. Just be careful to not poke yourself. Always bend the end of the branch back into the pool noodle. Curious hands might end up cutting themselves if you don't. When assembling the reef you could also try gluing some pieces together instead of using a skewer to hold them together. The tissue poms come 2 in a package and you just need to fluff them out. The mesh tubing was actually in the Halloween section. I just took it out of the bag and attached it as is onto the box. You could also try adding some fish to the coral or some treasure. Check out my other video to see how I made the sea urchins: • Easy DIY Sea Urchins

AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE ❤️ THANK YOU 😘
Thank you!
Thank you for this great video. Your descriptions were excellent.
❤
wowee!
Thank you!
Wonderful.
Amazing!
Thank you!
Should have shown what the result was after every instruction and variation because I don’t know which one I was making until after I cut.
Agreed
I think it would have helped us to follow. Could’ve featured an ‘after’ image both (1) when a specific type’ demo starts (like on its title card for that sub demo) as well as (2) at the end to show us the result of what element was made. Creative idea though - loved it!
Sorry it was confusing. I actually made this project in 2017 for a birthday party before I made the video. I will try to do that next time. Thanks for the idea!
Look great But i tried and the noodle where i cut it just fell apart
where did you buy the flower shaped pool noodle?
All the pool noodles were purchased from Dollarama. This was also made originally in 2017 so I'm not sure if that style is available anymore.
How long did this take you? Ty!
How many noodles and the purple tubing mesh used?
Shantel Boutros Hi and sorry for taking so long to get back to you! I used 4 green, 1 orange, 1 red and 2 blue. The purple mesh tubing was one continuous tube. I unfortunately don’t have the packaging anymore so I’m not sure how long the entire tube was. How many you use depends on the size of the box and how many you think looks good. I hope this helps!
