HOW TO DYE PASTA

Things you all need :

• various types of dry pasta
• food coloring
• white vinegar
• small bowl
• toothpicks
• Container with lid
• baking rack

Dye your pasta :

1. Put your pasta into a container (tight-fitting lid)

2. In a small bowl, mix a generous dollop of food colouring with a teaspoon of vinegar.  This helps to disperse the colour evenly over the pasta, especially if you’re using gel colouring which is quite thick compared to liquid colouring.

3.  Place the lid on (make sure it’s tight!), and shake it like insane! Shake it off ! Shake it off !

4. Pop the lid off to check on things.  If your colour isn’t evenly distributed over the pasta, simply sprinkle in another tsp of vinegar.  Don’t worry if your pasta looks wet or soggy.  It will dry quickly.  The smell of vinegar will also dissipate as it dries.

5. Pour your pasta on to baking rack and set it in a warm sunny place to dry. Decorate based on your creativity. Let it out...

That’s all there is to it! Hope you have fun from this activity and fill your time beneficial.
