Create a bumper for your fireplace hearth with a large pool noodle!
Or buy some pipe insulation from any hardware store - sometimes even cheaper!
Just cut the foam stick to the same length as your hearth.
Cut a slit halfway through the long way - cutting through from the outside to the hole already in the middle.
Then push the pool noodle onto the edge of your hearth.
The tension of the foam trying to revert to its
natural
shape is what holds it in place.
If you have a toddler who would pull it off, use some removable
Command Adhesive tabs - you can buy them without the hooks.
Shopping Suggestions:
•

•
3M Command Poster Adhesive Value Pack
•

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
