What you’ll need:
- Dried Pasta – any pasta works, but for stringing you will need tube pasta (macaroni, penne, wheels).
- Food coloring
- Rubbing alcohol
- Plastic baggies
- Paper towels
- Shoe String or Yarn
How to make it:
Place your dried pasta in a zip plastic baggie. Pour in 3-4 drops of food coloring. Pour in 1 Tablespoon of Rubbing Alcohol. Now seal the bag and shake it all together. Make sure each piece of dried pasta gets coated. Pour your colored pasta out on paper towel lined trays. Food coloring can stain, so be careful. You’ll want it completely dry before you start to work with it again, as you don’t want any color to drip.
Give each child a string and let them make a necklace. If you are using string, wrap one end with tape to make it easier to thread thru the pasta.
