Pencil Pool Noodle Garden Markers

I love pool noodles! They’re bright, colorful, and make great garden markers after a summer of playing with them in the pool!

Since we’re all heading back to school I thought it would be fun to upcycle the noodles into pencil garden markers! Cute right?

What’s Needed:
•   Pool noodles
•   Serrated knife or small saw
•   Black Permanent marker
•   Silver and black duct tape
•   Sticks or stakes
 

Directions:
1.   Use a knife or small saw to cut the main pencil out of the pool noodle. Yellow is best but you can use any color.  I made mine about 2 feet but you can do any length you’d like. 
2.   Cut an eraser out of a red or different color noodle.  I usually cut it about 6 inches, but again it’s up to you. 
3.   Create the pencil lead with another color.  Use the knife or saw to cut it at an able to create a point.
4.   Attach the pieces together with duct tape.
5.   Use the marker to write the names of your plants on it and stick them on a stake and right into the ground.
