DIY Pasta Snowflake Ornament for Christmas for Christmas - Easy Tutorial: a cute and simple idea for the Holidays, including pasta angel tutorial, too
Step-by-step instructions on how to make a pasta angel or macaroni angel to hang on your Christmas tree or just to set out as decorations.
If you’re of a certain age, chances are back in kindergarten, Sunday school, or at a Brownie meeting you covered at least one cigar box with macaroni, probably as a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift. And chances are, you haven’t thought about crafting with pasta since then, even if mom or dad still has that cherished box sitting on a shelf somewhere. Well, get out the pasta because I’ve got some great Christmas ornaments you’re going to want to make. These are so easy, you can do them with your kids. The most time consuming part involves waiting for the glue to dry. All you need in the way of materials are miniature pasta wagon wheels, tacky glue, wax paper as a work surface, a toothpick for applying the glue, and some perle cotton or thin ribbon for hanging loops. The ornaments shown are approximately 5” - 6”. You can make yours smaller if you’d like. These ornaments were created without patterns. You can also use large cookie cutters as templates. If you decide to use the cookie cutters, trace them onto a piece of paper. Place the paper underneath the wax paper. Arrange the pasta in horizontal rows to fit inside the drawn shapes. Glue pasta together as described below. I like the natural look of the pasta, but you can also spray paint your pasta ornaments in gold, silver, or any other desired color. 1. Arrange the pasta into the desired shapes. 2. Squeeze a puddle of tack glue in one corner of the wax paper. 3. Working in horizontal rows, glue the pasta in each row together. Allow the individual rows to dry. When completely dry, glue the rows together. 4. When the ornaments are completely dry, tie perle cotton or ribbon through hole at top of each pasta wheel for hanging loop.

In case you missed my guest-post over at Under the Table and Dreaming, here it is! I'm showing you how to turn this... ...into these! Pretty little Pasta Angels are cheap, easy, and you can eat the left-overs! This craft reminds me of Christmases when I was little- my mother would make these ornaments for our trees and as gifts for her friends. So fun! You will need a 20mm wooden bead for the head, Rigatone (the big tubes) for the dress, a wagon wheel for the collar on the dress, elbow macaroni for the arms, stars (Stelline) for decorating the dress, a bow-tie for the wings, and Ditaline for the hair. First, hot-glue the wagon wheel to the tube. (Craft glue works too, but I'm impatient enough that I will put up with having to remove all the pesky hot-glue strings.) Next, glue the head bead to the center of the wagon wheel. Then attach the bow-tie to the back of your angel, just underneath the collar. Glue the elbow macaroni either to the sides of the dress or to the underside of the collar, whichever works best for your particular macaroni. Because mine were so twisty, I tried both ways and they both looked great. For the hair, glue a row of Ditaline on the head-bead. In this picture, you can see that I have the holes in the Pasta facing sideways. I also made some with the holes of the curls facing frontwards. Both were cute! Fill in the back of the head with curls. Decorate the dress with stars! Here I put one star in the center of the collar and also used them as a trim. Now the fun part! Seeing them turn white! To spray-paint them evenly, I jabbed some pencils and take-out chopsticks into the frozen ground and stuck the angels on top of them. They got shot with three coats of glossy white spray paint. After they dry, use a fine-tipped permanent pen (I used a scrapbooking one) to draw their faces. And there's lots of room for making them your own! If you like a demure all-white angel, you could run a ribbon through one of her curls and stop there. You would have something like this! Or for a little extra sparkle, you could paint the stars gold (I did mine with a paint pen) and attach some gold seed beads strung on a wire to look like a halo. And that's it! A fun and easy project that won't break the bank. And I have a budget for craft supplies, but when they come from the grocery store, you don't even have to count them, right?!
