Step 3: Drilling the Holes
Initially, I used my husband’s power drill to drill my holes. The battery ran out before I could go very far, for whatever reason. I later discovered that a screwdriver with a Phillips head functioned equally well. I just pushed it through. I took measurements and marked the eleven-inch pieces at one, four, seven, and ten inches. The small pieces were marked at 1 and 4 inches. After that, I simply drove the screwdriver all the way through the noodle, creating two holes that were across from one another.
DIY Pirate Pool Noodle Raft: A Fun Pool Float for Kids
Hi, mateys! Are you searching for a summertime pool toy for the kids? If so, consider building this awesome pool noodle pirate raft. Your kids will love acting like they’re treasure hunters and sailing the high seas, and they’ll love adding “Argh!” to every sentence.
Two of my cute little cousins told my mother and me about this pool noodle raft idea. My son’s passion for all things pirate led us to decide to transform it into a raft with a pirate theme. You too can make a fun pool float for your kids that will keep them occupied for hours this summer by following the step-by-step instructions below.
Step 2: Cutting the Noodles
I initially had a much larger saw, but I quickly discovered that this little one was ideal. I measured and marked my noodles every 11 inches. I had a 5-inch piece at the end of this, which was ideal for the tiny pieces I needed to attach to the ends of my raft. I’d like to know what this saw’s intended purpose is if anyone knows. My spouse used to find it amusing that I was ignorant of how to use each tool properly. He was adamant that there was a right knife for each task. I was always using the wrong one.
