How to Dye Pasta for Necklaces With Vinegar

Uncooked pasta can be dyed using a mixture of vinegar and food coloring and then used for kids' projects such as beads for a homemade necklace. You can choose from the various shapes of dry pasta available in stores and the colors from food coloring. The colored pieces can then be arranged on a cord to make a necklace.

Things You'll Need

• Pasta
• White vinegar
• Food coloring
• Bowl
• Wax paper

Instructions

1. Add one tablespoon of white vinegar and four to five drops of food coloring to a glass bowl. Mix them together.

2. Pour in one cup of pasta shapes. Stir the pasta shapes into the mixture to cover the pasta in the coloring solution.

3. Let the pasta shapes soak in the dye for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove them from the dye and arrange them on wax paper to dry; the wax ensures that the pasta pieces will not stick to the paper.

4. Leave the pieces to dry overnight before threading them onto cord.
