Pool Noodle Door Stop

Have you ever tried using a pool noodle as a door stop? It's such a creative and fun idea! Not only does it add a pop of color to your space, but it's also an effective way to prevent doors from slamming shut. Plus, pool noodles are super lightweight and easy to cut to the desired length. Next time you're at the pool supply store, grab a noodle or two and give this quirky DIY door stop a try – you won't be disappointed!

You will need:

  • Pool noodle
  • Saw, knife or other sharp craft blade
  • Fine grit sandpaper - 320 or higher

Saw off a section of pool noodle - I cut a 10 inch slice.

Make one lengthwise cut from the outside into the inner hollowed-out circle.

Now look at the end of the pool noodle. You'll want to cut a triangle from each side of the cut you just made. From the ends, the cut will look like a raindrop. This cut will make the cut ends "hug" the door better than one straight cut!

Sand the cut ends with fine-grit sandpaper.

Push the cut edge onto the door!
