Macaroni Necklaces

We left the pasta to dry thoroughly overnight, and look how fabulous the colors turned out!

I decided to use chenille stems (pipe cleaners, as they were known in my childhood) instead of yarn so we wouldn’t have to worry about using a yarn needle or anything to string the pasta shapes.

Intense concentration...

The girls loved this project!  I’m wishing I had colored many other shapes of pasta while we were at it, I could see flatter shapes being a lot of fun to use in a gluing project.  We’ve seen how much my children enjoy glue!
