As anyone who has partaken of organized crafting for the youth can tell you, there is a fantastic array of things that can be done with pasta. Not only does almost everyone love to eat it, but in its uncooked state, it may be implemented for artistic purposes. I have been trying to make the switch toward eating whole grain/wheat things to replaced their highly refined and deliciously unhealthy counterparts, and so while you take my advice and do the same, you might as well get rid of your bad pasta by making a tiny creature from it.
For this project, one will require...
hot glue
paint
-per angel
one spherical shape, or wood bead, for the head,
a total of six elbow maccaroni
one bowtie pasta piece
one manicotti or other tube-like pasta piece,
a tiny handful of acini de pepe, for the angel's hair
The maccaroni is the least obvious part for assembly, basically two pieces make up the arms, glued on either side of the tubular pasta body. then, at each end of the tube body, a pair of maccaroni are glued so that their open ends connect to face each other, making a donut shape. As for all the other pieces, you pretty much just glue it on there.
Once their bodies are assembled, they have only to be painted and given tiny faces. Or you can leave them faceless. You can also omit the wings if you want them to be a little less angel-specific.
