Paint all the bow-tie pasta pieces green and let them dry completely.
Cut a large triangle from the cardboard to form your tree base. Then paint it green if you like for added depth.
Starting from the bottom, glue rows of pasta bows onto the cardboard, overlapping slightly to resemble branches.
Once the glue is dry, decorate your tree with pom-poms, sequins, or glitter dots as ornaments.
Finally, add a foam or paper star at the top for a festive finishing touch. You now display your shimmering pasta tree as part of your holiday decor!
