Trace simple summer shapes on cardboard or wood slices, think seashells, popsicles, crabs, or leaves. Then cut them out neatly.
Paint each shape in bold, summery colors like turquoise, coral, and sunshine yellow. Let them dry fully before adding details.
Choose pasta types that fit your design, you twisty fusilli for waves, penne for stripes, or shells for texture. Then paint them in fun colors and let dry.
Glue the pasta pieces onto your painted shapes to highlight features or add decoration.
Once everything is dry, display your collection on a wall or use them as table decor for a summer gathering.
