This is a beautiful little centerpiece you can make from dry pasta, a foam cone, and paint. I think it'd be beautiful in any colour, but it really looks quite chic in gold with red accents. The farfalle bowtie pasta sitting on top is a cute little finishing touch.
Total Time: 60 minutes (not including drying time)
Yield: 1 tree
Supplies:
- 1 foam cone, 8.8" in height
- about 1 cup dry penne pasta
- gold spray paint
- red acrylic paint
- paint brush
- 1 piece of farfalle pasta
- craft glue
Steps:
- Start by firmly poking the penne into the bottom of the cone at a slight angle. Make sure the holes are exposed.
- Keep making rows above, staggering the pasta.
- Build your way to the top. Don't crowd the top section because there is less foam to work with, you don't want it to break into bits.
- Spray paint the tree gold. Let dry.
- Give it another coat of paint. Let dry.
- Paint all the front sections of the pasta openings with a bit of red.
- Paint the farfalle pasta red. Let dry.
- Glue the red farfalle to the top of the tree.
