9 very unique Christmas decorations made using uncooked pasta
Something very versatile to make Christmas decorations with is pasta. Yes, we are talking about raw/uncooked pasta, in any shape or size, painted or left in its natural colour. The important thing is that it is dried pasta and not cooked pasta.
Pasta comes in a thousand shapes and can be used in a myriad ways to create little works of art (or Christmas decorations). In short, pasta is a precious resource for any self-respecting arts and crafts aficionado.
And among the thousands of projects that can be attempted, making Christmas decorations is especially easy. Check out the ideas below:
Cute little angels to hang on the tree can be made by gluing together different types of painted pasta (gold or silver) or simply left in its original colour. These decorations will be very unique.
To make a special wreath to hang on a door, you can glue pasta pieces onto a round base - perhaps made from cardboard - and go wild with the shapes and paints you use (and that match your home's environment).
The same can be done to make a Christmas tree. An inverted cone on which to glue the pasta to is all you need. The important thing is to be creative.
And how about the nativity scene made entirely from uncooked pasta? It is possible to find pasta shapes for each element of the scene. Don't believe us? Try it, and you will be amazed.
This cute ball with silver-painted pasta butterflies and matching ribbon is just one of the many versions which are possible to make using pasta.
In addition to balls, magnificent stars can be created that will look great hanging up (or placed on top of the Christmas tree).
And, again, you can make beautiful snowflakes from pasta wheels and ice cream sticks. The look will be spectacular.
For those who like to customize the frames of photos, here's another great idea on how to use pasta and cardboard to achieve this.
Finally, for lovers of more classic and traditional Christmas decorations, we propose the idea of making star-shaped candle holders, created by attaching pasta shells to the base. The result is really breath-taking.
