My parents came for a visit this weekend and we all had a great time. Marlena showed them her necklace making kit. This kit gives me about 30 minutes of time to clean or do other household chores. I bought an assortment of beads for about 3 dollars but then I bought some pasta. Marlena's abuelos actually dyed the pasta different colors and my dad found a good use for those colorful straws I bought earlier. He cut them into smaller pieces. Now I need to find other inexpensive things for her kit.
Here is instructions on dying pasta if you want to try it.
Need:
Pasta
Plastic bags
Food coloring
Rubbing alcohol
1. Add about a teaspoon of rubbing alcohol to each bag of macaroni and several drops of food coloring desired to each bag depending on how much pasta you are looking to dye.Close the bag and shake until the pasta is coated.
2. Lay out wax paper and spread out pasta so that it can dry. We left ours out over night. I think it worked great!
Super fun! I can't wait to wear one of her creations...
