There's still plenty of expired macaroni pasta and I need to do something so it won't just go to the trash bin. Then I thought I could make a collage-like greeting card from it.

Supplies:
1 piece cardboard paper (any size)
uncooked macaroni pasta
water colors and brush
glue (preferably hot glue)
tiny buds
beads
paper fastener (wire)
Steps:
Write a draft message and draw design patterns.
I drew a flower so I will start with cutting a fastener wire for the stem. Glue in place.
Next, create the petals out of macaroni. Place a bunch of buds in the center to add attraction. Glue each addition as you go.

Then form the butterfly. Use a round bead for the head and buds for the antenna.
Erase the rest of the message if it doesn't fit your paper. Align macaroni on the sides for the frame.
