Idea 4. Panels and paintings made from pasta
From pasta different sizes, shapes and colors, you can create wall panels or “write” real paintings - portraits, landscapes, still lifes and abstract scenes. There are at least two techniques for making pasta paintings.
Method 1: Search on the Internet suitable scheme for embroidery and select the same pasta small size. For example, these could be very small tubes or stars. Color the pasta required colors(see at the end of the article), and then glue them to the canvas on a stretcher according to the chosen embroidery pattern. You can glue the parts using PVA glue or thermal glue (in this case, it is better to apply the glue to the pasta and not to the canvas).
Method 2: By hand or using a ready-made/homemade stencil, draw a schematic sketch on the canvas. Think about what kind of pasta will suit your design. So, for example, spirals are suitable for depicting hair, tubes can depict the bricks of a house, shells can be themselves, and all the small horns, stars, etc. can be used to “fill” or “draw” contours. You also need to plan what colors will be used for the painting. Keep in mind that you can create a composition not only from pasta, but also from cereals and beans. Having decided on a palette, paint the pasta (see at the end of the article), and then glue them in the desired order.
The following selection of photos provides examples of panels and paintings from pasta that children can make, for example, to decorate their room, for a school assignment, or to give as a gift to a loved one.

Idea 6. Stationery organizer
Any glass and even tin can Can be turned into a cute organizer for stationery items. All you need is pasta, glue and acrylic paints.
Idea 7. Christmas decorations
You can make wonderful Christmas tree decorations with your own hands from shaped pasta. For example, wheels, flowers and shells easily fold into snowflakes. Moreover, the combinations of parts can be so different that each decoration on the Christmas tree will be unlike any other.
The principle of creating a pasta snowflake is simple - first, a core is made from one or several parts, and then 5-6 rays are built around it from different or identical pasta glued together. Before gluing the snowflakes, you need to lay out the entire combination on paper and make sure that all the parts fit together. After the glue has dried, you can begin painting. If you want to cover the craft with glitter, then you need to do this immediately after painting so that the glitter has time to set with the paint. To better secure the glitter, spray the snowflake with hairspray. The following photo slider shows the stages of work clearly.

Idea 8. Pasta box
A box made of wheels or flowers may seem like the result of the finest work of a master, but, in fact, anyone can make such a craft with their own hands. To do this, you need to select a small box, line up the bottom of the box according to its dimensions, then assemble the walls of the box directly around the walls of the box using glue, and finally, make a lid of the appropriate size. If desired, you can glue handles assembled from several parts to the sides of the box, and glue the legs to the bottom. Next, the lid and the box should be connected to each other using pieces of flexible plastic or leather. When the product is ready, all that remains is to cover it with spray paint.
There is an easier way to make a box of pasta with your own hands, when a ready-made box or box is taken as a basis, and the pasta is used only for decoration.
The main thing here is to create beautiful and neat patterns and carefully paint both the box itself and the pasta decorations. To paint this pasta craft, it is best to use aerosol cans.
Idea 9. Bookmark
Figured pasta, for example, bows, can perfectly decorate bookmarks for books and textbooks.
To make the bookmark itself, you need to cut a rectangle out of cardboard, cover it with scrapbooking paper (or any other beautiful paper), and then laminate the bookmark with transparent tape.
You can simply paint the pasta in bright colors and/or cover it with glitter like in this tutorial. To make the pasta shiny, all you need to do is treat it with PVA glue, generously sprinkle it with glitter and brush off the excess.
After 2-3 hours, when the glue becomes transparent and dries, the pasta can be glued to the bookmarks using glue gun.
Idea 10. Postcards with pasta decor
The same bows or, say, pasta hearts can be used to make cards with your own hands. The principle of operation remains the same as for making bookmarks (see Idea No. 9). And here is a selection of photo examples of “pasta” postcards.
Idea 11. Elegant photo frames
Figured pasta can be used to decorate frames for photos, paintings or posters. To do this, you only need thermal glue, a frame, paints and the pasta itself. In the following selection of photos you can get ideas for decorating frames for children and adults.

Having placed the cone on the bottle, start gluing butterflies in one row on its lower edge. Then proceed to the second row, but now place the pasta so that it overlaps the gaps in the first row.
Continue gluing butterflies using the same principle until the very top, so that the cone is completely hidden under the Christmas tree “branches”. Once the glue is dry, spray paint on the tree and then glue on beads for decoration.
