Ah, pasta.  It's cheap, always in your cupboards, yummy...and a GREAT crafting material!  Today I'm super excited because my fellow Rockin' Art Moms and I came up with 14 super fun, beautiful, and easy pasta art projects that you can make with your kids!

And... *drum roll please* we want to see YOUR pasta creations and we're also hosting a GIVEAWAY too.  Yippee! So definitely check out the bottom of the post to see the giveaway details and all the other ladies' awesome posts.

Chuck and I decided to use our pasta to decorate painted picture frames!

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!
