Chuck and I decided to use our pasta to decorate painted picture frames!
Make Pasta Frames With Kids!
This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support!
First, we spray painted
our pasta white. We did this outside in our backyard on some old newspaper.
While it dried, Chuck and I painted
our frames. He loves rainbows, so I drew some lines in for him and he painted them in. I love oranges, so I used a spouncer to paint circles and a paintbrush handle to create the spots.
When the paint dried, we glued
on our wheel pasta.
I didn't have any photos of us lying around, so we framed artwork instead. I traced the picture frame holes onto watercolor paper
. Then, we drew pictures with sharpies and colored them in with watercolors. 
Once the pictures dried, we placed them into our frames for some lovely, colorful artwork!
I hope you have fun trying this activity out with your kids too! And, as promised, here are 14 other fun art projects!
