  1. For each color you would like to make add a teaspoon of vinegar and a few drops of food coloring to a ziplock bag.
  2. adding vinegar to bag

  7. Lay the pasta out in one layer, making sure not to let the colors touch. Lay out in the sun to dry. If it isn't sunny, I would place it in front of a fan for a few hours. Note: If it is really hot in your area, it would be wise not to let them sit in the sun for too long. These were out in the sun all day and I think they may have become brittle because of this.

  9. Once completely dry let your little one have at it. I gave my son a stiff plastic string and he had a lot of fun making necklaces with the colored pasta.
