Dyed Macaroni


We dyed macaroni to use for crafts by letting them soak in water colored with food coloring for about five minutes.

Wow! Those turned out well! Bright and cheerful. I'll have to keep your method in mind next macaroni project we do- painting them is messy.

Happy WW

You don't eat them, do you?

Jennifer Partin said...

What do you do with them afterwards? I am an "I need an idea" kind of person. I'm going to try your method next time....
Happy WW!

Looks beautiful! So many possibilities--picture frames, jewelry, mobiles. Great color!

The plan for these was to make "bead" necklaces, but none of the string I had would make it through the curve of the macaroni or it would break it.I think we will try rigatoni for that next. We ended up just gluing the colored macaroni to paper to make a picture.

Jon,
I suppose they would be safe to eat, but I am not sure what would happen to the color when you cooked them.

wow, such vibrant color. I didn't know it would produce such bold colors doing that.

I've been asking all my teaching friends about how to make dyed macaroni and none of them could remember. Thanks so much! The craft project wheels are turning!
