Palm trees from pool noodles?! 🌴 🙌🏻

I’ve made a LOT of things from pool noodles, but these are my all time favorite!! 😍

So simple, yet they make such a big impact at a party.

Add a few of these on your tables or make them even taller and place on the floors. They look SO realistic and tropical.

DIY palm trees are perfect for your next luau, tropical party, beach party, VBS, and more! ✨

What’s your best pool noodle hack? I’d love to hear your tips! 💕 taken in San Diego, California by @makelifelovely

DIY tiki statues made from purple insulation foam🌴✨

These giant tikis were definitely a labor of love, but looked sooo good at our big luau!

I was inspired by one of the tikis in Adventureland @disneyland, so I made two from purple foam from @homedepot. 🌺

They are such a nice big size and helped fill the huge room!

So what do you think? taken in San Diego, California by @makelifelovely

This is your sign to make an American flag candy board 🇺🇸✨

👉🏻 Start with a large tray and a smaller rectangular tray

👉🏻 Gather red, white, and blue candy and treats:

- M&Ms
- red hots
- licorice
- sixlets
- hot tamales
- sour cherry balls
- marshmallows
- mints
- jelly beans
- gumballs
- gummy bears
- gummy sharks
- salt water taffy
- sour belts

👉🏻 Place the rectangular tray in upper left corner of larger tray. Add blue candies to tray, then place white candies on top spaces out in rows to represent the stars. ⭐️

👉🏻 Now add a red row of candy across the larger tray, a white row underneath, and repeat until your tray is filled with red and white stripes. ❤️🤍

👉🏻 Serve for Memorial Day or your 4th of July party, and watch your American flag board disappear! 🇺🇸
