I am a grade one teacher and one hundred day is quickly approaching...In the past years I have had the kids make necklaces with fruit loops but they always end up eating them as they are counting to 100 and then their fingers get all sticky as well...so this year we are opting for macaroni necklaces and I had no idea how to dye them but so far so good! Thank you so much! :D This is so awesome!

I'm a Pre K teacher and I need a quick idea to for making jewelry necklaces. I googled "how to dye pasta" and your websit was the first on the list. The instructions were easy to follow. My pasta has been soaking for about an hour and the colors look fabulous! THANKS! Oh by the way, I used the Great Value slide freezer bags and I had some leakage. Other than that, it was a simple process! Love your website! I’m a Pre K teacher and I need a quick idea to for making jewelry necklaces.

My 4th grader had "pasta necklace day" for spirit week this week. The pasta turned out so bright and pretty. One suggestion for others: purple turned out black, and when I tried to make a different shade it turned out kind of a rose. I probably will stick to blue, red (pinkish, but definitely a shade of red), orange, yellow, and green. They were great. I will be doing this with my toddler story hour group very soon. Thank you. Oh, I didn't measure at all, just put enough liquid to get everything wet and the drops of color to the shade I liked. I used the Wilton icing colors (concentrated gel) for some, and liquid for others. Both worked well, but the gel is less messy. What a quick and easy way to dye pasta.

Mine is outside drying right now and it looks great! That was super easy. I made red (looks like red) and green to do festive lacing activities with my toddler. I used the regular cheapo walmart brand bags and they worked fine (didn't even double bag). No problems getting dye anywhere other than where it should be. I probably used less alcohol than you call for and quite a bit more food coloring, but it was very intuitive. I'd definitely do it again and make some more colors. I'm going to be on the hunt for fun pasta shapes from now one. I never knew how to dye pasta and quickly found this website. Mine is outside drying right now and it looks great! That was super easy.
