Noodle Necklaces

March 8, 2012
Make your own beads by coloring pasta and then string them on pipe cleaners, yarn, ribbon or twine!  You can make necklaces, wristbands, headbands, and more!

Builds fine motor skills, pattern concepts and it's a TON of fun!

Making the "beads" is just as much fun as stringing them!
  1. Pour Ditali and/or Penne pasta into a Ziploc baggie.
  2. Squirt about 8-10 pumps of hand sanitizer and 8-10 drops of food coloring into the baggie.
  3. Shake until the pasta is all colored - kids love this part!
  4. Pour onto wax paper to dry completely.
  5. Store in a closed container.
Remember to do each color in a separate baggie!
