How To: Dye Pasta For Crafting.
By ChrisjobFirst, there was just plain old semolina yellow. Then, they got fancy (tacky?) and developed the tri-color by using spinach and tomato products to tint you rotini. Now, embrace the rainbow by coloring your pasta ANY shade you may choose with vibrant, punchy results. This is a great medium for kids, or for some tongue-in-cheek nostalgia...perhaps some macaroni macrame?
Materials
- food colouring
- dried pasta of any shape
- rubbing alcohol
- ziploc bags
Just fill the bags with the pasta, and cover with the rubbing alcohol. Mix in the food coloring, and dye away...

lol - I bought a big bag of beads and necklaces from a charity shop to use at school for craft lessons. Cut the threads and tossed them all into a bowl of soapy water to wash. It was only later that I discovered that the small round dark blue beads, seemed to be thousands of them - were pasta spaghetti hoops. Yuk!
