Good questions, Bobbie. I didn’t use glue. I simply grasped the pipe cleaner close to one end and pushed it into the foam. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to do. It isn’t necessary to make any holes. Thanks for your question. Good luck with your sea anemones!

sorry – just trying to make sense of how I’d accomplish the Sea Anemones.

Ana, if you are duplicating this tablescape, it will be helpful to know the pool noodles needed for the project. You’ll need 2 lavender, 1 blue scalloped, 1 red, 1 green, 1 orange, 1 purple, and 3 lime green for this project. You, of course, can change the colors to suit your own party. Good luck with your project! Would love for you to share pictures on My Humble Home and Garden’s Facebook page.

Thank you, Erin! It was pretty awesome and it’s easy to make, too!
