Bookmarks for pasta books

Perhaps the simplest thing you can do with pasta with your own hands is concise, but at the same time very cute bookmarks for books. They look amazingly beautiful, so you can even present them as a small gift to a friend or loved one.

In the process we need:

• cardboard with a pattern;
• Scotch;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• pasta in the form of bows;
• PVA glue;
• brush;
• sparkles of different shades;
• glue gun.

From the cardboard we cut out a rectangle of the required length and laminate it with adhesive tape.

If desired, you can trim the corners a bit and make them smoother, rounded.

We apply PVA glue to pasta and sprinkle them with sparkles. Leave them to dry for just half an hour.

Brush off the excess sparkles and proceed to the next step.

Using a glue gun, glue pasta to previously prepared bookmarks.

Cute bookmarks for decor books are ready!

Christmas decorations

Fans of decor are encouraged to start by creating unusual Christmas toys from pasta. Agree, a very unusual solution. Nevertheless, the result will pleasantly surprise you, since such products are very beautiful, concise and at the same time low-cost.

Necessary materials:

• wooden ball;
• pasta of various shapes (tubes, wheels, horns, stars, bows and others);
• glue gun;
• skewers;
• white spray paint;
• marker;
• wire;
• beads of gold color;
• gold color;
• golden thread or thin ribbon.

We connect pasta in the form of a wheel and a tube with glue. In the center of the wheel we attach a wooden ball, which will be the head of the future Christmas tree toy. We also fix a bow from pasta, which will be the wings of an angel.

Glue the horns in the form of hands on the sides of the pasta tube to the workpiece.

After that, we begin to create hair. To do this, glue the most suitable pasta into a wooden ball. In this case, it is Ditalini. We also decorate the resulting little angel with stars a little.

We make the necessary number of Christmas tree decorations and only after that we proceed to the next stage. Set the figures on wooden skewers and cover with several layers of white spray paint. Leave the blanks to dry.

Carefully draw a marker with eyes and mouth.

From a wire and beads of golden color we make a halo for an angel and attach it to the hair. We color the stars with gold paint, as in the photo.

There are many different types of Christmas toys that can be made from pasta. Therefore, we prepared another master class on how to create beautiful snowflakes with our own hands.

To do this, you will need:

• curly pasta;
• glue;
• brushes;
• paint;
• sparkles;
• hair fixation spray;
• scissors;
• ribbon or thread.

To make the snowflake beautiful, we recommend immediately folding it from pasta on the work surface. If all the details completely suit you, then you can proceed to the next step.

Glue the pasta together and leave the figurine to dry.

We cover the snowflake with paint of any shade and immediately sprinkle it with sparkles. This is necessary so that they are better fixed.

For shine, you can sprinkle a snowflake with hair spray. But to do this is not necessary. After that we tie a ribbon or thread, tie a strong knot and hang a beautiful toy on a festive Christmas tree.

Here are some more ideas on how Christmas tree decorations from pasta might look.

Original pasta garlands

On the eve of each holiday, I want to decorate my home with themed decor and thereby create a special atmosphere. One of the most popular options is undoubtedly considered a garland. Therefore, we suggest immediately try to do it yourself.

Prepare the following:

• small capacity;
• PVA glue;
• pasta bows;
• thick thread or twine;
• scissors;
• sparkles;
• brushes.

Pour PVA glue into the container. We put bows on the working surface and apply glue to them with a brush. Sprinkle with sparkles immediately and leave to dry.

Shake off the extra sparkles and tie the bows with thread or twine, leaving the same distance between them.

The result is a beautiful, concise garland. You can hang it on the wall or decorate furniture.

Depending on the chosen shade of glitter or paint, the garland looks completely different.

Stylish accessories

Often, pasta looks so beautiful that they can even be used to create stylish accessories. For example, a simple hair band is transformed in front of your eyes, if you complement it with such a decor.

To do this, just apply a golden spray paint on pasta in the form of spikelets. After drying, they can be safely glued to the rim with a small distance from each other.

In fact, you can make an incredible amount of different hair accessories using pasta as a decor. Hair clips, hoops, headbands, elastic bands and much more.

They can also be safely used to create unusual pendants, necklaces or bracelets. Be sure that with such accessories you will definitely not be left without attention.

Mini christmas tree

Using pasta, you can make not only interesting toys, but also mini-Christmas trees. They look great as a decor for the holiday at the workplace or as the main attribute on the holiday table.

To do this, cut out a semicircle from cardboard and turn it into a cone. For reliable fixation we use glue. We put the cone on a glass or a bottle and gradually glue the pasta in the form of bows.

After drying, apply spray paint to the Christmas tree and decorate at our own discretion.

As you can see, depending on the pasta, a tree can look completely different.

Crafts from pasta - this is really a good option for beginners. But at the same time, such products do not look too simple. On the contrary, they are especially original and unusual.
