Though any color will work since you can cover them to get the desired effect, red or white are the best. After the holidays, you can reuse the noodles and throw them back into the lake or pool because this process won’t ruin them.

Measure the noodle into three equal parts. Only bend the top third of the noodle. This will create the cane-like shape. This is how you want to leave it for about twenty minutes. To accomplish this, you can just hold it, sit on it, or stack books on top of it. To save time, just eyeball the ideal bend location and bend in the direction that suits you best. Advertisement .

Secure the fishing line between the two bend segments. This will ensure the shape holds. If you change your mind about the shape later, it can always be redone.

To make stripes on a red noodle, use white electrical tape, or vice versa. If you’ve selected a different color, such as purple, you will first create the alternating colored stripes on the entire noodle using a solid color of tape. You can now make a foam candy cane by winding red or white tape around the noodle in a diagonal manner [1]. Measure two to three inches for each stripe if you want your stripes to be extremely accurate (or larger if you prefer giant stripes). Make a small mark with a pencil. Utilize the markings as a guide as you wind the tape around the noodle. This will keep your stripes even and a consistent size.
