Easter Egg Noodles!

Yes, its been a while. On to happier and hopefully more frequent blogging days. Here is a fun project to do with your Easter egg dye after you are finished dying eggs. It is so easy and quick to dye noodles and the noodles can be used for so many fun crafting projects.First here is what you will need. Of course your leftover dye or make up some new dye with an extra dye packet water and vinegar, lots of noodles, some old cookie sheets and parchment paper to line them with, and some paper towels.

Now for the hard part.

Dump the noodles into your dye bowls and let sit for up to 5 minutes or until the color you want is reached. (not too long or your noodles will be soggy) You can use any type of noodle you would like really or a variety like I did. That wasn't too hard right?

After your noodles have reached the color you would like lay them out on your old cookie sheet

lined with parchment paper first then paper towels to absorb any extra liquid.

Once you have a good tray full of noodles remove the paper towels and spread the noodles

evenly across the parchment lined cookie sheet.

Now you're ready to pop the cookie sheet in an oven preheated to 300. Bake for 10- 20 minutes until your noodles feel hard again instead of soggy. Let them cool for about 5 minutes. At this point I tossed them into a bowl to finish cooling so that I could do another batch. I ended up doing about 3 large bags of pasta.

Aren't all those colors great? Now bag them up and stick them with your other craft or project supplies. They can be used to make necklaces, glue on paper or just to be played with.

Have fun!
