Pasta Bracelet - bracelet on wrist Pasta isn't just for making food. It can be used even if not cooked. Never think that your pasta is wasted when the expiry date comes and you were not able to cook them. See how I transformed expired macaroni pasta into an accessory.

Supplies:

uncooked elbow macaroni
water color
scissors
nylon string
beads

Steps:

Use watercolor to shade pasta in different colors. Set aside and let dry.

Pasta Bracelet - dye with water color paint and allow to dry

Cut each piece into half.

Get a piece of nylon string about 10-12 inches long and fold it twice and measure the size of your wrist.

Create a loop and tie a knot. Now you have two string lines.

Insert two strings in one bead. Then put one bead each on the two lines of string separately.

On the first line, put different colors of pasta and beads alternately. Then do the same with the other line.

Lock the strings by inserting two strings together in one bead and tie a knot. Cut out the excess strings.

Just because the pasta has passed it's expiration date, as long as it has always been stored dry, it should still be good to use for eating. Don't waste food when so many people go hungry in this world, no matter how cute your craft project is.
