SOMETHING NEW
Pool Noodle Cupcake Stand Supplies: (look for the printable version below)
- pool noodles (I used 6)
- 2 googles
- optional black elastic
- low temperature hot glue gun
- glue sticks
- optional straight pins
POOL NOODLE CUPCAKE STAND DIRECTIONS:
For the bottom portion of the stand measure and cut 3 pool noodles into 3-inch pieces.
Wedge the inside pieces into the center. NOTE: I only glued the outside ring together and then wedged the other pieces in tight enough that the piece all stayed together.
Bring it all together by adding the goggles. You can take out the straps and add a thin piece of black elastic, loop it through the goggles and hot glue the ends like the original strap or all I did was cut the strap and use straight pins and pinned it into the pool noodle.
Pool Noodle Cupcake Stand
Yield:
1 Cupcake Stand
Materials
- pool noodles (I used 6)
- 2 googles
- optional black elastic
- glue sticks
- optional straight pins
Tools
- low temperature hot glue gun
Instructions
- For the bottom portion of the stand measure and cut 3 pool noodles into 3-inch pieces. Measure and mark with a marker.
- Use a sharp serrated knife.
- Heat the glue gun. Glue outside pieces together. Hold until cool.
- Wedge the inside pieces into the center. Repeat the same process for the top as the bottom tier.
- Once the top layer is finished then you can get a better idea of how tall the center piece should be (I cut mine 5-inches for the push up pops) That depends on if you are using push up pops for the top layer or cupcakes.
- Wedge the tall piece from the bottom up through the top layer. TIP: If you choose to add the longer piece you will loose the pieces on the top layer that fill the top layer (see photo in post).
- Bring it all together by adding goggles. You can take out the straps and add a thin piece of black elastic, loop it through the goggles and hot glue the ends like the original strap or....all I did was cut the strap and use straight pins and pinned it into the pool noodle.

Where did you get the little beach balls?!
Hi K, here is a free printable https://www.ladybehindthecurtain.com/splish-splash-pool-party/
I read that the bottom layer is cut three inches, what’s the length for the
next layer?
Hi Velma, Because I added push up pops to the top layer I chose to make mine 5-inches. It all depends on how tall your cupcake picks are and what you’re adding to the top layer.
