The newest issue of Real Simple showed the cutest rainbow costume, made from strips of those 'pool noodles' you can find at the dollar store.
Then I found this version on that ever-useful site, Instructables:
How-tos are there, as well.
Or maybe a crocheted rainbow coin purse, if you're in a fiber mood, instead.
How-tos are here. (Also from Instructables)
Quilters everywhere are using rainbow-colored pool noodles for another use:
Storing and displaying rolled quilts!
Here's how to do it.
Grab an armful of pool noodles in a variety of colors. Wrap them in muslin, wherever they would touch your quilt -- stitch muslin in place.
Now carefully roll the quilt onto the noodle, patchwork side out. (Don't pull tight, just gently roll.)
Tie loosely with a cloth tie.
Display vertically, along with your other quilted beauties, in a large basket, pot or can. Or stack them, like a piled version from Pop Sugar. (Other uses for pool noodles are in this series, too.)
Everyone could use a rainbow in the chilly days ahead.
