Place whatever shape noodle you like into a ziplock bag. Add 1/4 to 1/2 Cup rubbing alcohol. Add about 10 drops of food coloring. (I have found that red and blue take more like 20 drops to get them really colorful.)
Close the ziplock bag and lay out flat on covered space. Squish it around and make sure everything is covered. Flip the bag after an hour. Should be done in about two hours.
Drain and let dry overnight on top of paper towels.
The kids love Pasta Art. Here are their creations:
The one at the beginning of the post was mine. Totally Type A, right?
Our other "craft" was to make rainbow cupcakes. Except they didn't really turn out like rainbows, the turned out more like Tye Dye cupcakes, which is cool. My problem was I didn't have a box mix for the cupcake batter, so I looked up a recipe for one. And while it tasted yummy, it was a very thin batter. To hold the layers for the rainbow, you really need a thicker batter. Nonetheless, it was still fun and still rainbow-ish, wanna see?
Here is our batter, nice and separated. Using the ziplock bags helps to keep down on the mess.
This is the point that I knew we were not going to get rainbows, each layer sank into the last. Still looks cool though!
The finished product. My icing skills are coming along! I am actually taking a decorating class later in the month, very excited about that!
The inside of the cupcakes. So, if you ever have to make a treat for a 70s party, this is your cupcake!
That is how we spent our weekend. Hope you all are having this awesome weather that we are getting and enjoying it!
