Dyed Pasta Jewellery

6 / 14 / 126 / 16 / 12

This morning our dyed rigatoni noodles were perfectly dry and ready to be put to use.  And thank goodness.  Gracen’s been asking about our “pretty papta” since the moment I put it out in the solarium to dry.  
IMG 4754We chose to use pipe cleaners this time around as this was Grae’s first real time stringing ‘beads’.  Of course, any sort of string will do (wrapping one end with tape makes it easier), but I find that the rigidity of pipe cleaners makes it a lot easier, especially for munchkins who are just learning.IMG 4795

To start off, I strung on one noodle and folded the pipe cleaner up around it to secure it (much easier than making a giant messy knot).

And then she was on her own. Easy peasy! She was a pro.

Of course, if you’re not into stringing them, rigatoni noodles make gorgeous rings too.
