Macaroni was the name of the game as kids (and a few grownups) gathered to make jewelry out of dyed pasta and yarn.  It's a simple, inexpensive and super fun craft that lets kids show off their creative sides!  To dye your own pasta: add a few drops of food coloring or kool aid to a bowl of water, drop in pasta and leave it until it absorbs enough of the dye.  The longer you leave it, the more vivid the color.  Remove the pasta from the bowl with a slotted spoon and let it dry well.  That's it!  And remember, just because it's edible doesn't mean it tastes good!
