The stores sell a variety of pasta in very bizarre shapes. They can be used not only for their intended purpose, that is, for food, but also as material for original creative work that can be done with children.
DIY pasta tree
An unusual Christmas tree made of pasta can be a decoration for a festive New Year's table and serve as an original gift for relatives and friends. To make it, you need pasta in the form of shells and stars.
Roll a cone out of thick paper. Wrap it with paper tape to keep it in shape. Make small notches on the paper at the base of the cone and use them to glue this piece to the old CD. The base for the tree is ready.
You can make a tree trunk from a suitable branch or cardboard roll. Secure it with one end inside the cone, and place the other end in a flower pot and fill it with plaster.
Paint the base with matching acrylic paint, depending on the final color of the tree you are planning. Using a hot glue gun, glue the shell-shaped pasta in a circle, flush against each other. Work from the base of the tree to the top of the tree.
When the craft is dry, paint it with acrylics or spray paint. Make Christmas tree toys from pasta in the shape of stars or bows. Decorate your tree with beads or beads.
Snowflakes from pasta
These crafts for decorating an interior or a Christmas tree can be done with children during preparation for the holidays. Choose a pattern for snowflakes depending on the shapes of pasta that you have in stock. Pour them into several flat plates to spark your creativity.
A glue gun is useful for gluing pasta together. If a child makes snowflakes, then use Secunda glue or other instant glue. Lay out different pasta on a piece of paper, fit them together to create beautiful patterns. And when the snowflake drawing suits you, glue the craft.
Paint the resulting jewelry with acrylics. Attach ribbons to them so that the crafts can be hung in the room or on the tree.
Snowflakes can be sprinkled with sparkles if they are glued directly onto the wet paint.
Decorating photo frames with pasta
Disassemble the frame into its component parts. For decorating, you only need the wooden or plastic base itself. Spread the pasta on it as your imagination tells you. You can decorate the entire surface of the frame or add volumetric accents only in the corners. When the ornament suits you, glue the pasta with a glue gun.
Paint the resulting craft evenly from a spray can. You can additionally decorate the frame with rhinestones or beads.
