Dyed Pasta Mobile
Dyeing pasta is such a fun and virtually mess-free activity. Experiment with mixing different colors of food coloring and shapes of pasta. There are endless ways to play and create with dyed pasta, but making a hanging mobile is a fun and unique way to display these dyed creations! Hang the finished works of art in a child’s room or outside to enjoy!
Materials Needed:
- Pasta
- Rubbing alcohol
- Food coloring
- Embroidery hoop
- Yarn
- Waxed paper
Step One: Put the pasta in a plastic baggie and add about a tablespoon of alcohol. Shake the bag until all of the pasta is coated.
Step Two: Add in a few drops of food coloring and shake again until the pasta is dyed. Lay the dyed pasta out on a piece of waxed paper to dry.
Step Three: Once the pasta is fully dry, string it onto yarn and tie the pasta strings onto an embroidery hoop. Tie yarn to the top of the hoop to hang.
