Dried macaroni in fun shapes is great for crafts but colored macaroni is even better. This is one of those things we always wanted to know how to do and now Cindy of Skip to My Lou tells us!
You'll need rubbing alcohol, food coloring, plastic bags that seal shut and assorted dried macaroni. Just soak macaroni in alcohol and food coloring for a bit and let pieces dry before handling. Check out Skip to My Lou for more great photos and step-by-step instructions.
