Cut out a 6-inch circle from sturdy cardboard to form your base. You can also use recycled cereal boxes if you prefer a lightweight option.
Lay out different pasta shapes on the cardboard, experimenting with patterns. Try spirals, flowers, or geometric rows, this is your creative moment.
Once you’re happy with the arrangement, lift each pasta piece slightly and apply glue underneath. Then press gently to secure and let the design dry completely (about 30 minutes).
After it’s dry, begin painting. Use smaller brushes for tiny shapes and mix colors for shading or ombre effects.
When ready, you can frame it, hang it, or simply admire the creativity that a handful of pasta inspired.
